Three Margaritas
I was wandering the streets of El Paso
Looking for somewhere to think
I was angry and hurt
She was a tease and a flirt
I decided I needed a drink
I spied a rundown cantina
Inside it was dingy and drab
I felt like a fool
As I pulled up a stool
The bartender asked what I’d have
A margarita I answered
It was her name and her fault
It was a bad time
So tequila and lime
Some Cointreau and plenty of salt
I just had my first margarita
I’m not sure it’s easing my pain
Maybe another
Will help me recover
And I’ll start feeling happy again
The bartender was a young woman
She pointed to my empty glass
I smiled she poured
While I casually ignored
Her perfectly beautiful ass
Another margarita I asked her
A little stronger this time
Sure thing she said mister
As she poured the heavenly mixture
Oh lovely tequila and lime
I drank my second margarita
I’m certain I’m feeling less pain
Maybe another
Will help me recover
And I’ll start feeling human again
By now I could feel my mood lifting
I was suddenly feeling less tense
Margarita I was sure
Was both the cause and the cure
By now it was making more sense
One more my dear girl I ordered
Your drinks have made me exalt
Please hold the lime and no Cointreau this time
And I’m sure I don’t need any more salt
Just pour me a shot of tequila
And leave the bottle right here
More sips of the nectar
And I’m sure to forget her
I’ve forgotten already, so there
I just had my third margarita
So by now I am feeling no pain
After three margaritas
I love all señoritas
And I am feeling my old self again
