Tortugas

Where son mis llaves I thought that I left them beside the door
I need them to start mi coche to drive to the liquor store
Tengo dinero enough per comprar from my student loan
Cuatros tortugas, 2 Mickey's for me, 2 Schlitz for Ramon
Keys ain't no where so amigos decided to caminar
To walk a half mile for sweet malt liquor doesn't seem to far
That's when problemas y dolores de la noche began
Las policas were destined to ruin our happy plan
Where is the harm in amigos bebemos some beer
Tortugas help time pass more easily when you live here
Un coche de policia rolled up with the spot light on
Donde van ustedes esta noche, ellos preguntan
Que cosa tienen en sus manos, pointing at the beer
We're underage so Ray said that maybe we should get out of here
Yo no soy marinara, soy capitan
Una capitan borracho porque bebo muchas tortugas
Yo no puedo bien caminar, yo no puedo hablar correctomente
So now we chill en un carcel amigos no longer free
Emptyness reigns in estomacho where malt liquor should be
Until we make bail we can't drink no tortugas any more
El hombre proximo looks at me with ojos de amor
