Rancheritas I hear
Carne asada I smell
The frijoles charros are almost done
It’s time to eat
It’s time for some fun
As my grandpa downs his beer
And my mom finishes her tequila
They start singing
Jamming out to some Vicente Fernandez
Beer after beer
Shot after shot
Grandpa will start dancing by himself
While mom lets out a big “Vicente”yell
As the cheladas are being made
Down they go one by one
It’s dark now
Plans for the morning are now done
The breakfast of champions will be made
And everybody’s hangover will go away......
The menudo is ready and now being served
