There was a time when I needed to amuse myself when driving because my car had no music in it. This was just what popped into my mind as I was going to a gig where I planned to do some drinking of my favorite alcoholic beverage.

They have a beverage southbound of the U.S.A.,
Down in Me-hi-co.
And after they finish their siestas,
It gives them their get up and go.
They drink...
Tequila, it drives them loco.
Tequila, I'm going out of my head with...
Tequila, well I must be heaven,
But I'm not dead.
Now I like tequila in a margarita,
It makes me feel so nice.
Then I find myself a sexy little senorita,
And I make it with her, not once, but twice,
In fifteen minutes with...
Tequila, it drives me loco.
Tequila, I'm going out of my head with...
Tequila, well I must be heaven,
But I'm not dead.
Now Pablo likes tequila with marijuana,
It helps his brain to think.
First he drinks and then he smokes and when he tokes to much he chokes,
And then he knows it's time to have another drink,
He drinks...
Tequila, it drives him loco.
Tequila, I'm going out of my head with...
Tequila, well I must be heaven,
But I'm not through,
I sing another chorus 'bout...
Tequila, I like that worm in the bottle,
Tequila, I'm going out of my head with,
Tequila, I drink a quart a day since I was ten, but,
I'm not dead yet!
