Tequila
Kotch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was at the bar with my drinkin team,
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 we did, and that was kinda simple,
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.

Tequila
Te-Te-Te - Tequila

Overall Meaning

The song "Tequila" by Kotch is a comical and lively recounting of a wild night out with friends, indulging in alcoholic drinks and meeting various characters. The first verse introduces the drinking buddies, Jack Daniels and Jim Bean, who are joined by a soldier from the Fuzzy Naval. Amidst their drinking and stumbling, the police arrive and demand their keys. Later, they encounter two women, Marguarita and Shirley Temple. Despite his friend's warning that Shirley is a virgin, the singer chooses to speak to Marguarita and takes her to the coast for a Screw Driver. The chorus interjects throughout the song, simply repeating the word "Tequila." In the second verse, the singer introduces himself as a French Mexican who can also enjoy White Russians. They meet Jose Cuervo, Marguarita's man, who is said to be crazy and shoot glass. A wise man named St. Ives advises the singer to catch the night train to San Francisco. The singer takes a Grey Hound to New York and ends up at the Red Zone, where he drinks Tequila with a lemon assault. The final verse describes the aftermath of the night, where the singer feels like a zombie from the Tequila Gold Label. He receives an invitation to a Bacardi party and meets more characters, including the Mickey Brothers who take Shirley Temple up to Strawberry Hill. Amidst the drinking, the singer gets married to a groupie named Mai Tai and recounts their honeymoon in the Blue Lagoon. The song ends with the advice to never forget the combination of a "girly and a bottle," which is a Tequila Sunrise.
