Taco Tuesday (Observed)

Lyrics

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

Inspired by my love of Mexican culture. Probably not as good as my similar song Three Mariachis, but nonetheless a ton of fun to write a song, teach it to my wife real quick on guitar, then have her work her magic on accordion. She can learn any song by ear almost immediately after one listen, so it's an amazing talent she has to witness.
