Azúcar Moreno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was me Jack Daniels and my homey Jim Bean.
We were kinda blitzed and we were trying to behave Y'all
when in walked a soldier he was from the fuzzy naval.
We were fallin, stumblin, crawlin
her come da police, Captain Tom Collins,
and the rapper said freeze
he said "hands in the air and hand over your keys"
now here came Marguarita and her friend Shirley Temple.
I asked my friend 'bout Marguarita,
he said Shirley was a virgin an I wouldn't wanna meet her.
So I talked to Marguarita, cause yoh, she was flyer.
I took her to the coast cause I wanted to Screw Driver.
Now Im not one for a speech,
but there was plenty of Tequila and Sex On The Beach, Y'all.
Tequila
Te-Te-Te - Tequila
Tequila
Here we go again and Im not fussin,
see I'm a French Mexican but I can get with White Russians,
at the bar with a drink in my hand.
In walked Jose Cuervo what was marguaritas man.
I talked to the wise man cause, yoh he's distinguished.
His name was St. Ives and he spoke in old english.
He said "you'd better think fast,
cause Jose is kinda crazy and I heard he Shot Glass".
He gave me some advice and it went like this:
"catch the night train and head up to 'cisco"
I didn't wanna stick around,
I caught the 1:51 to New York, the Grey Hound.
Now I'm at the Red Zone, everybody's stylin'.
Was sippin Ice Teas on Long Island.
I blacked out and the party came to a halt,
cause I was drinking the Tequila with the lemon assault Y'all
Tequila
Te-Te-Te - Tequila
Tequila
I woke up in the morning and felt like a Zombie,
the Tequila Gold Label had bombed me.
You see I woke up late and wasn't feelin' so great,
And Mike said there's a Bicardi party startin' at eight.
Yo we walked in the party and started playin our games,
we played tops, fuzzy quarters, with Bartles & James.
Here came Shirley Temple and they told me to chill,
because the Mickey Brothers took her up to strawberry hill.
They took her $1000 mink and she could barely think,
cause the Tequila that she drank had her tickled pink.
Now the music came on and I rocked the instrumental.
There's a groupie named Mai Tai, a fly oriental.
A groupie is a girl that jocks,
She wore the def Black Velvet and drank Scotch on the Rocks.
We had a fake marriage, now here's to honeymoon,
Ya zone vagabond and the Blue Lagoon.
Now everybody take a word from the wise,
A girly and a bottle, Tequila Sunrise.

The song "Tequila" by Azucar Moreno is a story about a wild and crazy night of drinking different types of alcohol. The singer is at a bar with their friends Jack Daniels and Jim Beam, and they are all trying to behave until a soldier walks in. After that, the night becomes a blur of different drinks and encounters with various people. Along the way, the singer meets Margarita and her friend Shirley Temple, and they all end up drinking Tequila and having sex on the beach. The story continues with the singer encountering Jose Cuervo and St. Ives, and eventually winding up at a party with a groupie named Mai Tai.
Despite the chaotic and sometimes confusing events of the night, the song has a fun and lighthearted tone. The lyrics are filled with puns and references to different types of alcohol and mixed drinks. The chorus, which simply repeats the word "Tequila," is catchy and memorable, making it a perfect singalong song at parties or bars.
