Taco Tuesday (Observed)

Words & Music © ℗ 2022 by Scott Richard Cooley (ASCAP)

Monday night heading home from work, can’t keep my hunger at bay

Mariachis play on my radio, and I wish it was tomorrow

The weekend went by way too fast, and I worked so hard today

I had to skip my lunch again, now all I feel is sorrow

In four more days I’ll get paid and have more than enough for a bite

But I didn't plan ahead again, and it's so hard to have to wait

I don't have enough to go and see all my amigos tonight

But I'm so very hungry now, and tomorrow it will be too late

Oh how I wish it was taco Tuesday today                                          

Can’t get my fill and still pay the bill but my mouth it waters thinking about the thrill

Oh how I wish it was taco Tuesday today                                

My empty stomach is craving satiety, my empty wallet requires a special price you see

Oh how I wish it was taco Tuesday today

I dream of a future plan after I become a rich man

I will observe it any day of the week, like I’m in Mexico

‘Till then I'll blow what I have, on cheap food that is bland

I won't go if all I can afford is just one bean burrito

Oh how I wish it was taco Tuesday today                                             

Can’t get my fill and still pay the bill but my mouth it waters thinking about the thrill

Oh how I wish it was taco Tuesday today                         

My empty stomach is craving satiety, my empty wallet requires a special price you see

Oh how I wish it was taco Tuesday today

Maybe next week I'll make my money last, and stay away from the casino

And if I should succeed at last, I will celebrate with a grito!    (joyous yell here)

I dream of a future plan after I become a rich man

I will observe it any day of the week, like I’m in Mexico

‘Till then I'll blow what I have, on cheap food that is bland

I won't go if all I can afford is just one bean burrito

Oh how I wish it was taco Tuesday today                                     

Can’t get my fill and still pay the bill but my mouth it waters thinking about the thrill

Oh how I wish it was taco Tuesday today                               

My empty stomach is craving satiety, my empty wallet requires a special price you see

Oh how I wish it was taco Tuesday today

Oh como desearia que fuera martes de tacos hoy
