Lyrics

Don’t know why she left me for another guy
Put a damper on our relations
Drove my pick-up truck, down past San Antonio
For an unplanned, spontaneous vacation

Went into a cantina in a south Texas town
To indulge me in some la-la-la-libations
Then Senorita Carmelita took my breath away
I’m thinkin cultural appropriation

We locked eyes upon first glance
Then she smiled and she advanced
Like cats prey.
I froze entranced
She pounced and pulled me out on the floor
And we danced.

My heart went
Thump!
thump Thump!
thump Thump!

We’d step
Shuffle
'n Scoot
‘n Jump

We’d hip
Bump!
'n Bump!
‘n Bump!

Then she twirled right into my arms.

Don’t know why she loves me,
I was just another guy,
On a just-had-a-bad breakup vacation
Some kind of magic happened
In that south Texas town
We became two united nations

When I first set foot in that little cantina
I never could-a asked for-a more-a
That purdy senorita, me and she are Tex Mex
Senorita Carmelita’s my senora

We locked eyes upon first glance
Then she smiled and she advanced
Like cats prey.
I froze entranced.
She pounced and pulled me out on the floor
And we danced.

My heart went
Thump!
thump Thump!
thump Thump!

We’d step
Shuffle
'n Scoot
‘n Jump

We’d hip
Bump!
'n Bump!
‘n Bump!

Then she twirled right into my arms.

My heart went
Thump!
thump Thump!
thump Thump!

We’d step
Shuffle
'n Scoot
‘n Jump

We’d hip
Bump!
'n Bump!
‘n Bump!
‘n Bump!
‘n Bump!

She twirled and twirled right into my arms.

My heart went
Thump!
thump-Thump!
thump-Thump!

We’d step
Shuffle
'n Scoot
‘n jump

We’d hip
Bump!
'n Bump!
‘n Bump!
‘n Bump!
‘n Bump!

She twirled and twirled right into my arms.
