[Verse 1]
I was just a tourist the first time I went to Mexico
I was a stranger in danger in a world unknown
A clap of thunder and the ground around me did explode
And evil skeletons in dozens came out from that hole

[Chorus]
Why? No lie
It was the Day of the Dead
Did you hear what I just said?
Oh-oh-oh, I didn't even know
It was the Day of the Dead
I try not to lose my head
Oh-oh-oh, way down in Mexico

[Verse 2]
The place was jumping with the reapers swaying to and fro
An evil skeleton made off with my beef burrito
They opened the Pinata and a swarm of bats went up my nose
I lost all bowel control and knew that it was time to go

[Chorus]
Why? No lie
It was the Day of the Dead
Did you hear what I just said?
Oh-oh-oh, I didn't even know
It was the Day of the Dead
I try not to lose my head
Oh-oh-oh, way down in Mexico
[Bridge]
The locals tell me not to fear
It happens at least once a year
When hell is full, the dead will walk the earth and
Apparently, they come up here
For the beer

[Chorus]
Why? No lie
It was the Day of the Dead
Did you hear what I just said?
Oh-oh-oh, I didn't even know
It was the Day of the Dead
I try not to lose my head
Oh-oh-oh, way down in Mexico

[Outro]
Día de los Muertos, cien calacas vió
Oh-oh-oh, y el gringo se asustó
Día de los Muertos, el cabrón se arrugó
Oh-oh-oh, aquí en Mexico

Corre, carajo, que los muertos 'tán en la calle
