Bring on the Tequila, oh
I'm fire on Tequila, oh
My friends and I meet hours before
We make some home-made pizza
We do some funny bits back and forth
My knees buckle, I laugh so hard
We might end three sheets to wind
And who knows where we'll wind up
All I know is there's a car waiting
And we'll figure that out after
I have to keep my eye on my old friend from high school
We've known each other for the longest time
She has trouble with her limits, so to speak
She can hoist a really good kick in the butt when she's excited
She doesn't do it so much anymore
'Cause we're all on to her
Bring on the Tequila, oh
I'm fire on Tequila, oh
Hostess most on Tequila, oh
Bestest friends on Tequila, oh
Then there's my other pretty friend from high school
The predator in me is put to shame by the predator in her
And know I've reeled it in
but it'll be interesting to see how much she's done as well
Then there's my friend from Chigago
God, do I love all people from Chicago?
All ready to light up the barbeque
And be the heartbeat on debauchery
Bring on the Tequila, oh
I'm fire on Tequila, oh
Hostess most on Tequila, oh
Bestest friends on Tequila, oh
Then there's my Canadian friend
What a fabulous mom she's become!
She's been tortured in this sense for the last many of months
For obvious reasons
She was like, "hey, where was this part of you when I wasn't pregnant?"
I laughed and did a shot in her honor
As I conversed with her belly
Bring on the Tequila, oh
I'm fire on Tequila, oh
Hostess most on Tequila, oh
Bestest friends on Tequila, oh
Then there's my Cupid friend
She sure knows how to dress, that one
She's a wise and worldly girl
But you gotta watch that medication
My favorite beverage is taken to a whole other level on it
I'm not worried about her, I'll coast around the room
While I trust she'll temper
My brother came to visit me
And now he's used to hanging with me and cracking up
But he had no idea about my built up tolerance
No idea about how manipulative I've become
I would seruptitiously put it in front of him without him asking
In a pretty little shot glass
His smirk and cackle would only egg me on
Bring on the Tequila, oh
I'm fire on Tequila, oh
Hostess most on Tequila, oh
Bestest friends on Tequila, oh
