Words by Brenda Allen Moser

 

   Dm             C         Dm

1. Last night I dreamt of tomatoes

Dm             F             C

Just like I’d eaten for the meal before

   Dm              C          Dm

A young girl with eyes like potatoes

Dm                    F              C    Am

  It all seemed like yesterday, not far away

 

        Dm          Am       Am7

CH:    Tropical the island breeze

        G                F

       All the lettuce fresh and green

        C              C/G     G

       This is what I long to eat

   G         Dm

       La Salsa Bonita

       Dm             Am       Am7

       Even with some refried beans

            G                F

       The mild would still seem too hot

               C                 C/G      G

       Ring through my ears and sting my eyes

              G      C    Dm

       Your Spanish salad bar

 

 

  Dm          C          Dm

2. I fell in love with tomatoes

Dm            F               C

Aroma carried on the sea, it called to me

Dm           C         Dm

Bring sour cream, guacamole

Dm             F                     C       Am

I prayed the chips would last, they went so fast (Ch)

 

 

(Bridge):

G          F        G          Am

I want to eat a tostada piled high

C           G         F             G

  When its time for siesta you can get them half price

G              F        G            Am

  Beautiful salads, no cares in the world

         G            F         A           Dm

Where a girl loves a boy and a boy loves nachos

 

 

    Dm            C         Dm

3. Last night I dreamt of tomatoes

Dm                  F              C    Am

It all seemed like yesterday, nor far away (Ch)
