Tacos

© 2011 by Eric Dahl

She was making tacos at the Taco Time
I was on the corner making dime after dime
Saw her through the window, flashing that smile
Across a cheese enchilada to a realtor with style —

Ambition’s a bitch, but I’m gonna get rich.

Hey mister better give me a dime
Don’t you come back to this Taco Time
The lady’s my sister, she’s underage
You shiny suited bastards send me into a rage —

Ambition’s a bitch, but I’m gonna get rich.

I took the dollar and I went inside
Give me two tacos with love on each side
If I had a future instead of this song
Would you take off that apron and come along?

So you’re making tacos at the Taco Time
I work the corner making dime after dime
Saw you through the window, flashing that smile
Across a chile relleno to a lawyer with style —

Ambition’s a bitch, but I’m gonna get rich.

Saw her through the window, flashing that smile
Across a chicken tostada to a doctor with style
When she was making tacos at the Taco Time
I’m still on the corner making dime after dime —

Ambition’s a bitch, I’m gonna get rich.
