( Montezuma's Revenge song lyrics )
WHAT THE HELL DID I EVER DO TO
MONTEZUMA?
Copyright © 2005 - mickterry.com

6/8
1: Now, South of the border, I never have gone:
Los Cabos, Tampico or old Mazatlán.
No, none of these cities have ever yet seen my face.
I love all the culture, the hist'ry, the dance.
I'd love to go down there if given the chance.
But lately I've settled for eating up all the food.

2: Burritos and tacos, the usual fare:
the closest I get to my being down there.
Tomales, tostadas, I savor them one and all.
I got real excited on seeing this sign,
way out in the desert, a woman reclined:
"Experience Mexico like you have not done before."

CHORUS:
What the hell did I ever do to Montezuma
that he thinks he's got to take it all out on me?
How'd I get his curse? Why's he making it worse?
What the hell do I do to ever get him to leave?

3: Another new billboard each mile down the way
declares "Montezuma's" the place I should stay
to get the authentic experience Mexican.
With all of this buildup, of course I'm let down.
Five shacks of adobe: some Mexican town!
But I can't complain much; the food isn't all that bad.

4: I don't know exactly what else is in store.
Two lovely conchitas are offering more
when something inside me insists that I can not stay.
I run for el baño up curved wooden stairs.
I'm not sure I'll make it the whole way up there.
My belly's exploding and I'm sure I'm going to die.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
It's the revenge of the mummy done Mexican style.
The revenge in the tummy where something's gone wild.

5: The next sev'ral hours completely alone,
expelling amoebas on an old Aztec throne.
To say that it's nasty is slightly to understate.
The lovely conchitas I don't see again.
I'm totally wasted: the big man's revenge.
It may be authentic, but I won't eat there no more.
CHORUS:
