Me an' my homeboy Paco were jonesin' for a taco

I said “I’ll buy… you pick the place to go”

He rēplied “Guy that’s easy… the sky’s so warm an' breezy

Let’s drop the top an' bop to Mexico”

From north of San Fernando to south of San Diego

We cruised the Golden State on U S Five

Before long in short order we zipped across the border

To dine at Paco’s favorite taco dive

At the Ensenada Enchilada Bar an' Taqueria

They make a mean menudo… melt a mighty quesadilla

Machaca beef burritos stuffed with chiles an' frijoles

Pozole… chimichangas… salsa… chips an' guacamole

To wash that bad boy banquet down… a couple frozen liters

I’m feelin' real insipid ’cause now I’m filled with lipids

My doctor’s so upset he’s ’bout to cry

Why did I have to try it… that nasty lard-based diet

If I do that again he swears I’ll die

I told my homeboy Paco my doc says no more tacos

“No way Jose!”… he said … “Your doc’s a 'mo!”

Though Mexi-food’s too greasy… too spicy an' too cheesy

To cater to our taste buds we must go

To the Ensenada Enchilada Bar an' Taqueria

They make a mean menudo… melt a mighty quesadilla

Machaca beef burritos stuffed with chiles an' frijoles

Pozole… chimichangas… salsa… chips an' guacamole

To wash that bad boy banquet down… a couple frozen liters

I didn’t pay attention to my doctor’s sage advice

I wouldn’t let him rain on my fiesta

But back in Ensenada now my heart’s attacked me twice

I fear next time I’ll find “The Big Siesta”

At the Ensenada Enchilada Bar an' Taqueria

They make a mean menudo… melt a mighty quesadilla

Machaca beef burritos stuffed with chiles an' frijoles

Pozole… chimichangas… salsa… chips an' guacamole

To wash that bad boy banquet down… a couple frozen liters
