Tequila / The Way Of The Booze - Manhattan Transfer

The girls like to do the Samba

A shimmy to break’em down

The guys like to do the Mambo

It makes them too big and strong

But if you can’t get the rhythm

There’s one thing that you can do

Partake of the drink tequila

It’s fire will set you loose

And you’ll feel like it’s high time

A trip on a joy ride

Your worries just fly by

And you never want to stop

Tequila

Some drink tequila

'Cause it eases the blues

It frees up the spirit

From your head to your shoes

The way of tequila (drinking tequila you lose them blues)

Is the way of the blues (drinking tequila)

If you’ve too much inside you (drinking tequila you pay them dues)

You’ll be payin' them dues (drinking tequila)

Makin' your head spin

You’ll have a huge grin

Then trouble will begin

And you never want to stop

Tequila

So if you can’t get the music

And if you can’t feel the swing

If you need to roll out the rhumba

Then tequila is just the thing

Drinkin' tequila

Will make you high and free

Drinkin' tequila

Will make you high and free

Drinkin' tequila

Will make you high and free

Drinkin' tequila

Will make you high and free

A kaleidoscope from my eyes

Booze and colors white

In dispute

With all of this fuming inside

I cannot hide

To have a drop of liquor

Are passions I cannot hide

From this

And have some passion and on fire

From the tequila

A fire burning again

A fool my friend you’ll be

If you count the fears behind you

No-one's made deep from within

Don’t fall too deep

A second cat has creeped up behind you

It turns my «can't» into «can»

In love with

Spins you round and blunts your mind with

That’s tequila

Isn’t it plain to see

That it will set you free

And you’ll never want to stop

Tequila

So if you can’t feel the music

And if you can’t feel the swing

If trouble forbad the Cha Cha

If Salsa is not your thing

For here is a known solution

To get you into the groove

Partake of a margarita

And you’ll feel like you want to move

You’ll be doin' the hand springs

You’ll feel like you’ve got the whole world on a string

You’ll be hearin' the bells ring

And you never want to stop

Tequila

Drink tequila
