Lyrics
It always bugs me when people celebrate a holiday they know absolutely nothing about. So I decided to write little educational songs to change all that. Take today, for instance: Cinco De Mayo.
In the year something-or-other
Some old bastards had a fight
It must have been something to remember
Because that’s why we’re here tonight
As always happens in these situations
Someone had to win, someone had to lose
But enough with all those history lessons
Let’s get on with it, where’s the booze?
It’s Cinco De Mayo, oh, yeah!
Cinco De Mayo, oh, yeah!
It’s Cinco De Mayo, oh, yeah!
Another drinking holiday!
It’s Cinco de Mayo, let’s celebrate
All year long, I just couldn’t wait
Oh, Hell, who do I think I’m I kidding?
It’s just a great excuse to go out drinking
It’s my all-time favorite holiday
Well, at least, it is today
So join me as I raise my glass
And pledge to get drunk off my ass
It’s Cinco De Mayo, etc…
I wish it came more than once a year
I’m going to be so sad and crying in my beer
You guys will be gone and I’ll be here all alone
I don’t know if I can make it on my own but wait…
There’s Mardi Gras, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, New Year’s Eve, the Superbowl, Labor Day, Spring Break, St. Patrick’s Day, the NBA Finals, Oktoberfest, Cyber Monday, Taco Tuesday, the World Cup, NASCAR racing, Columbus Day, Groundhog Day, Halloween, Bastille Day, Festivus, Secretaries Day, Navy Seals and Marines blowing up bad guys, 4/20, graduations, the Olympics, the anniversary of my divorce, life is good, you know, there’s always plenty of things to celebrate…
It’s Cinco De Mayo… Oh, yeah!
DRINKO De Mayo… Oh, yeah!
It’s Cinco De Mayo… Oh, yeah!
Another drinking holiday!
