Tequila Lyrics

[ VERSE 1 ]

I was at the bar with my drinking team

And it was me, Jack Daniels and my homie Jim Beam

We were kinda blizzed and we were tryin to behave, yo

When in walked a soldier, he was from the Fuzzy Navel
We were fallin, stumblin, crawlin

In came the police, Captain Tom Collins

And the vato said, 'Freeze!' (Freeze!)

He said, 'Hands in the air and hand over your keys'

Now we did, and that was kinda simple

Now here came Margarita and her friend Shirley Temple

I asked my friend 'bout Margarita

He said that Shirley was a virgin and I wouldn't wanna meet her

So I talked to Margarita, cause, yo, she was flyer

I took her to the couch, cause I wanted to srew-drive her

Now I'm not one for a speech

But there was plenty of Tequila and Sex on the Beach

Y'all

Tequila

T-T-T-Tequila

Yeah

Alright

Come on

TEQUILA!

[ VERSE 2 ]

Here we go again and I'm not fussin

See, I'm a French Mexican but I kick it with White Russians

At the bar with the drink in my hand

In walked José Cuevo, it was Margarita's man

I talked to the Wise Man, cause yo, he's distinguished

His name is St. Ides and he spoke in Olde English

He said, 'You better think fast

Cause José is kinda crazy and I heard he shot blast'

He gave me some advice and it went like this, yo

'Catch the Nighttrain and head up to 'Cisco'

I didn't wanna stick around I caught the 1(:)51 to New York, the Greyhound

Now I'm at the Red Zone, everybody stylin

Showbiz was sippin Ice Teas on Long Island

I blacked out, the party came to a halt

Cause I was drinkin the Tequila with the lemon and salt

Y'all

Tequila

T-T-T-Tequila

Yeah

Alright

TEQUILA!

[ VERSE 3 ]

I woke up in the morning and felt like a zombie

The Tequila Gold Label had bombed me

You see, I woke up late, I wasn't feelin so great

And Mike said, 'There's a Bacardi party startin at 8'

Yo, we walked in the party and started playin our games

We played tops, ??? and quarters with Bartles & Jaymes

Here came Shirley Temple and they told me to chill

Because the Mickey Brothers took her up to Strawberry Hill

They took her $1000 mink and she could barely think

Cause the Tequila that she drank had her tickled pink

Now the music came on and I rocked the instrumental

There's a groupie named Mai Tai, a fly oriental

A groupie is a girl that jocks

She wore a def Black Velvet and drank Scotch on the rocks

We had a Fake Marriage, now here's the Honeymoon

Yo, it's on, Vagabond at the Blue Lagoon

Now everybody take a couple of words from the wise

A girlie and a bottle - Tequila Sunrise

Tequila

[ *horn section plays the 'Tequila' theme* ]

Yeah

Alright

Come on

[ crowd ]

TEQUILA!
