Lyrics Tequila / The Way Of The Booze - Manhattan Transfer

Tequila / The Way Of The Booze

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
