Buenas tardes amigo
Hola, my good friend
Cinco de Mayo's on Tuesday
And I hoped we'd see each other again
You killed my brother last winter
You shot him three times in the back
In the night I still hear mama weeping
Oh mama, still dresses in black
I looked at every fiesta
For you I wanted to greet
Maybe I'd sell you a chicken
With poison interlaced with the meat
You... you look like my brother
Mama loved him the best
He was head honcho with the ladies
Mama always said he was blessed
The village all gathered around him
They couldn't believe what they saw
I said it was you that had killed him
And that I'd find you and upstand the law
The people of the village believed me
Mama... she wanted revenge
I told her I'd see that she was honored
I'd find you and put you to death
So now... now that I've found you
On this such a joyous day
I tell you it was me who killed him
But the truth I'll never have to say
Buenas tardes amigo
Hola, my good friend
Cinco de Mayo's on Tuesday
And I hoped we'd see each other again
Yes, I hoped we'd see each other again
I hoped we'd see each other again

| dowdog999 | Posted: Feb 19, 2011 - 06:37 It exploits every ridiculous stereotype of Mexican culture; family, jealousy, food, Cinco de Mayo, accent, assassination, etc. and in a really lame way. I'm all for poking fun at different cultures, and especially my own American culture, if done in an original and creative fashion. This doesn't achieve that. This is just bad humor. I'd give it a 1 if not for the cover... it deserves something > 2 |

| jersey_birdman | Posted: Dec 18, 2010 - 14:58 good stuff.... keep this in the RP set lists....  |
| cayenne (in over my head) | Posted: Dec 18, 2010 - 14:51 This guy sounds about as Mexican as the lead singer of Gorgol Bordello. |
| bobringer (Wayne, NJ) | Posted: Nov 16, 2010 - 21:07 I can't believe you guys hate this that much. This is goofy fun... and like another poster said... Bill warned us. |
| Johnny_Wave (California, baby) | Posted: Nov 16, 2010 - 21:04 Awful. |

| shawshank (Maryland) | Posted: Sep 14, 2010 - 10:33 Best album cover EVER!!!  |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Sep 14, 2010 - 10:31 Not rating this song. Don't care much for Ween, but I have to appreciate their very efficient way of erasing my sense of humor with their sardonic wit. I need to lighten up (listening to the consensus on this thread). And I will - after I listen to "Rock Yer Balls Off" by El Madmo...  |

| ankhrman (Saint Louis, MO) | Posted: Sep 14, 2010 - 10:28 I've loved this song ever since I first heard it 15 years ago. Muchas gracias, amigo! |
| blotto (here, at the moment) | Posted: Sep 14, 2010 - 10:26 Love it, very different. |
| More_Cowbell (Northern IL) | Posted: Sep 14, 2010 - 10:26 Buenas Amigo |
| unclelonghair | Posted: Sep 14, 2010 - 10:25 Fail |
| fatcatjb (Sunny Sacramento) | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 10:08 definitely a different tune...I like the twist at the end |
| pcarew (Austin, Tx (orig. Canterbury UK)) | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 09:58 Interesting lyrics to the legendary "St. James Infirmary" tune |
| mandolin (...drifting...) | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 09:58 ...okay, i must share that we're laughing our hearts out at our office here in san antonio - terror babies attack!.. |
| DoctorHooey (/etc) | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 09:57 The saving grace of this song is the explosion that ends it. The rest of this album is a similar caliber of musical competence and complete silliness. It's definitely a fun record but by no means a hallmark of our times. Does humor belong in music? |
| zipper | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 09:57 I love it. It's like a Christmas present that I didn't know I wanted. |
| strawberryblonde (omaha,ne) | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 09:56 WOW.....thank God thats over |
| twitterpated | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 09:55 A burrito western? This just goes on and on and on - Buenas Tardes indeed. |
| Nerubo (Denver, CO) | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 09:55 Never a good sign when the DJ on an eclectic radio station uses the word "weird" to describe a song.... |
| h8rhater | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 09:55 This should be followed by "A Spanish Piece" by Pink Floyd off of More. They are truly kindred tunes. |
| lathyris (Houston, TX) | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 09:54 I am so glad Bill like this song more than you all! 5.1 rating. Sheesh. This is AWESOME. |

| Jazbo (Beautiful Valparaiso IN.) | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 09:53 This is like watching a really bad movie. Painful... |
| techer2 (my own private idaho) | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 09:53 pretty strange indeed, but good as well. i picture this in some sort of "nacho-libre" type film. |

| bxd_tech | Posted: Jul 12, 2010 - 12:27 "I will sell you a chicken...with the poison...interlaced...with the meat." wow. it's like the nightmare ramblings of a teenage, sombrero-wearing, mustached, tatooed, East LA gangbanger. Funny in a disturbing kinda way.  |
| w3weasel | Posted: Jul 12, 2010 - 12:25 Sometimes Ween puts together an amazing song that displays the experimental genius of Dean & Gene Ween... But then other times, this happens. This was HORRIBLE. |
| Bosami (Deep in the heart of nowhere) | Posted: Jul 12, 2010 - 12:23 To all the haters: Turn down the sound - you can still enjoy the record cover. Just sayin. |
| juanrico (Mexico city) | Posted: Jul 12, 2010 - 12:23 En algún momento todos los deudos de los muertos asesinados en las fronteras entre países se unirán. Sus voces jamás serán acalladas. — At some point all the relatives of the dead killed in the borders between countries will join. |
