Three Mariachis

"Three Mariachis"

Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.

Three mariachis, a band of fools

All dressed up, riding three mules

Amigos for sure, they take it slow

Waiting for the dinner crowd to show

They have three cervezas, to get in the mood

As the cooks begin to prepare the food

For the couples on vacation, love’s always in the air

The mariachis play with no worries or cares

They take a break, three tacos with cheese

Then in their second set, three senoritas say please

Please play for us a song we all know

And as the mariachis play, their lonely hearts begin to show

They rove and weave through the tables with ease

The strolling troubadours, they play then they leave

No tip, no matter, they smile anyway

Happy just to sing and play

The senoritas then ask if they could show them the town

So the mariachis do ‘till the sun goes down

And when the sun comes up, they are lonely again

The three senoritas have no more time to spend

They are on their way back to their home town

And the three mariachis back to make their rounds

They rove and weave through the tables with ease

The strolling troubadours, they aim to please

No tip, no matter, they smile anyway

Happy just to sing and play
