Jimmy Webb Spanish Radio Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cinco De Mayo is just another day
Now that I see it in hindsight
Without the sombreros and huevos rancheros
I wouldn't be caught dead in a cock fight

[Verse 2]
I don't read those letters you send from L.A
With pictures of El Niño inside
I don't eat fajitas much anymore either
And salty margaritas I just cannot abide

[Chorus]
But I still like to listen to Spanish Radio
Think about about the days when José Cuervo was my brand
I tuned in the salsa and remember you in stereo
Even though the words are kinda hard to understand

[Chorus]
I still like to listen to Spanish Radio
Make believe we're dancing to a Mariachi band
I guess you didn't love me, and I think you tried to tell me so
Even though your words were kinda hard to understand

[Verse 3]
A Christmas piñata is a whole lotta bull--
When you're up to your armpits in snow
The Tijuana Brass can kiss my ass And I just can't remember to forget the Alamo
[Chorus]
But I still like to listen to Spanish Radio
Even here a thousand miles above the Rio Grande
I like the way the people like their music down in Mexico
Even though the words are kinda hard to understand

[Instrumental]
Mi corazón

[Chorus]
I drive along listening to Spanish Radio
Make believe we're dancing to a Mariachi band
It's hard to find a station here in Pocatello, Idaho
I guess it's 'cause the words are kinda hard to understand

[Chorus]
But here I am dreaming to Spanish Radio
Make believe we're dancing to a Mariachi band
I guess you didn't love me, and I think you tried to tell me so
Even though your words were kinda hard to understand
Even though your words were kinda hard to understand
Even though your words were kinda hard to understand
