Tequila - Tony Levin

I was at the bar with my drinkin team

It was me Jack Daniels and my homey Jim Bean

We were kinda blitzed and we were trying to behave Y’all

When in walked a soldier he was from the fuzzy naval

We were fallin, stumblin, crawlin

Her come da police, Captain Tom Collins

And the rapper said freeze

He said «hands in the air and hand over your keys»

Now we did, and that was kinda simple

Now here came Marguarita and her friend Shirley Temple

I asked my friend 'bout Marguarita

He said Shirley was a virgin an I wouldn’t wanna meet her

So I talked to Marguarita, cause yoh, she was flyer

I took her to the coast cause I wanted to Screw Driver

Now Im not one for a speech

But there was plenty of Tequila and Sex On The Beach, Y’all

Tequila

Te-Te-Te — Tequila

Tequila

Here we go again and Im not fussin

See I’m a French Mexican but I can get with White Russians

At the bar with a drink in my hand

In walked Jose Cuervo what was marguaritas man

I talked to the wise man cause, yoh he’s distinguished

His name was St. Ives and he spoke in old english

He said «you'd better think fast

Cause Jose is kinda crazy and I heard he Shot Glass»

He gave me some advice and it went like this:

«catch the night train and head up to 'cisco»

I didn’t wanna stick around

I caught the 1:51 to New York, the Grey Hound

Now I’m at the Red Zone, everybody’s stylin'

Was sippin Ice Teas on Long Island

I blacked out and the party came to a halt

Cause I was drinking the Tequila with the lemon assault Y’all

Tequila

Te-Te-Te — Tequila

Tequila

I woke up in the morning and felt like a Zombie

The Tequila Gold Label had bombed me

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

And Mike said there’s a Bicardi party startin' at eight

Yo we walked in the party and started playin our games

We played tops, fuzzy quarters, with Bartles & James

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 the def Black Velvet and drank Scotch on the Rocks

We had a fake marriage, now here’s to honeymoon

Ya zone vagabond and the Blue Lagoon

Now everybody take a word from the wise

A girly and a bottle, Tequila Sunrise

Tequila

Te-Te-Te — Tequila

Te-Te-Te — Tequila
