Been Caught Stealing” by Jane’s Addiction
Played when the Chihuahuas take the field
I’ve been caught stealing
Once when I was 5
I enjoy stealing
It’s just as simple as that
Well, it’s just a simple fact
When I want something,
I don’t want to pay for it
I walk right through the door
Walk right through the door
Hey all right!
If I get by, it’s mine
Mine all mine!
My girl, she’s one too
She’ll go and get her a shirt
Stick it under her skirt
She grabbed a razor for me
And she did it just like that
When she wants something, she don’t want to pay for it
She walk right through the door
Walk right through the door
Hey all right!
If I get by, it’s mine
Mine all mine!
We sat around the pile
We sat… -

“I’m an El Paso Chihuahua” by Baltimore Bishop
Unofficial El Paso Chihuahuas song
You think you beating chuco town, we thinking no not today,
Chihuahua nation standing strong, good luck is all i can say,
The Sun City nice day, and we ready to play, and we will not be beaten easy on our home field clay,
And even if the sky was grey, our fans would be on there way, “So should we let the dogs out?” permission granted, you may
Have mercy on the other team, after the game we’ll pray, send you away sad face, hope you enjoyed your stay
Your not the only one we’ll beat, the other teams we’ll slay, they said the game was down in Texas, you thought barrels of hay,
Had no idea bout EPT, the 915 on display, Dog pound all day, good pitch we swinging away, and after slugging home-runs, your pitcher gets a bouquet,
Won’t hesitate to steal a base without a second delay, strategic bunt we make it easy, could be called child’s play, the way we feasting on these points, its like a bone buffet YEAH!
Chorus – I’M AN EL PASO CHIHUAHUAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Second Verse
Southwest Park, it be the place we feel that warm embrace, and for that triple A crown we tryna be in the chase,
The new dogs in the yard, we wanna be in the race, we playing hard in every game we will be pleading our case,
We need support from all our fans so please keep showing ya face, Is west side in the place, how about the east side today,
Central and the lower valley – is the North here today, EL SEGUNDO BARIOOOOOOOOO is ft bliss in the place,
Horizon city and Socorro, Thanks for coming today, and all surrounding other cities help us get on that base,
Chico’s pumping up the crowd, somebody start up the wave, day of the dead, cause we send the other team to the grave,
We making so much noise they scared to come out the cave, barking loud in their ear, dog pound behave,
No one can hear your cry for help, nobodies coming to save; EPT is where we stay, in history we engrave – YEAH!
Chorus – I’M AN EL PASO CHIHUAHUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
