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
