I was just a tourist the first time I went to Mexico
I was stranger,in danger in a world unknown
A clap of thunder and the ground around me did explode
And the skeletons in dozens come out from that hole
Why? No lie!
It was the Day of the Dead!
Did you hear what I just said?
Oh-oh-ohh
I didn't even know
It was the Day of the Dead!
I tried not to lose my head
Oh-oh-ohh
Way down in Mexico
The place was jumpin with carribas playing to and fro
An evil skeleton made of with my beef burrito
They opened the pinata and a swarm of bats went up my nose
I lost all bowel control and I knew that it was time to go
Why? No lie!
It was the Day of the Dead!
Did you hear what I just said?
Oh-oh-ohh
I didn't even know
It was the Day of the Dead!
I tried not to lose my head
Oh-oh-ohh
Way down in Mexico
The locals tell me not to fear
It happens at least once a year
When hell is full the dead will walk the Earth and Apparently they come up here
For the beer!
Why? No lie!
It was the Day of the Dead!
Did you hear what I just said?
Oh-oh-ohh
I didn't even know
It was the Day of the Dead!
I tried not to lose my head
Oh-oh-ohh
Way down in Mexico
Dia de los muertos, el calacas vio
oh-oh-ohh
Y el gringo se asusto
Dia de Los Muertos, el cabron se arrugo
oh-oh-ohh Aqui en Mejico
CORRE CARAJO QUE LOS MUERTOS ESTAN EN LA CALLE!
