The vessel we boarded Was to sail across the Caribbean We saw dolphins and mermaids and jellyfish And other things I’ve never seen I thought his name was Alfredo His wife patiently stayed at home Right next-door was a cop with a drink in his hand And a black pistol by his side We left port around 4 p.m. As I read through my magazines Well the stock market dropped as I finished my puzzle They say that the world’s going to end My stomach hurts My brain don’t work I owe it all to you Stuck in a trap My headache’s back You know I’ve gotta choose Oh it’ll be a bad, bad, bad day for Pacifico I gathered it was on starboard side For stories from the waterline Upstairs a couple was fighting as the party went on And ironically I heard love songs 258 I kept callin’ and callin’ my home And no one would even answer the ‘phone Then I went to the bar and I bought me a drink And I went for a couple of winks When I woke I felt nothing at all With no one to talk to me So I went up on deck to look at the stars Felt like that I was on Mars I’ve been up all night I’ve sacrificed What am I to do Walking on glass Stabbed in the back You know I’ve gotta choose Oh it will be a bad, bad, bad day for Pacifico At the port of Cozumel There were bicycle taxis to take you away To a dumpy cantina or pharmacy A brothel that looked like a prom They were selling Mexico hats I asked if they were real, they said they were the best We saw painted-up donkeys and jewellery Chiclets and Aztec beads My stomach hurts My brain don’t work I owe it all to you Stuck in a trap My headache’s back What am I to do I’ve been up all night I’ve sacrificed You know I’ve gotta choose Oh it will be a bad bad bad day for Pacifico
