Crabmeat Thompson: Lyrics

True story. I love my wife. Of course the Mexican word for wife is "esposa." "Esposas" (pl) means "Handcuffs"! Those cabrones!

At Octoberfest in Bethlehem Pennsylvania
We got so hot that we stopped into the corner bar
to have an ice cold beer.
When surprisingly it was a Mexican place
With the jukebox playin Los Tigres Del Norte
You grabbed my arm and waltzed out on the floor

And as it turned out,
You’d done the perfect thing, as you often do
As your teeth clamped down on your lower lip
And you only mashed my feet a time or two

‘Cause twirling round the tiny floor,
The frowns that met us at the door
Turned upside down and golden teeth
Flashed out like paper lanterns in the dark

CHORIUS: At the Mexican Octoberfest
Swing your partner like they do out West
And you can have your own fiesta anytime

And when the next song was a real fast polka
With whistling and occasional gunfire,
We drank our beers and took a bow
And walked into the sunshine together

At the Mexican Octoberfest
Swing your partner he or she’s the best
You’ll be surprised at all the friendly people that you find

Gracias a la vida
Por el amor y las cantinas
Cerveza sin amoebas
Mi corazon esta cantando....siempre
