“Rattle ‘n’ Roll (No Más Tacos)”
By Los Huesos Calaveras with a special shout out to Susanne 2 for the splendid idea!
[Verse 1]
Ay-ay-ay! I creaked outta bed,
My skull was achin’, and my wishbone said:
“Let’s shake a leg—oh wait, it’s gone!”
So I shuffled out groanin’ like a xylophone.
[Chorus]
No más tacos—I’m down to the bone!
My ribs are a drum and I’ve overblown!
Had one more bite, now I’m losin’ my spine—
But I’d still haunt a cantina for that lime!
[Verse 2]
I flirted with death—she gave me a wink,
Said, “You’ve got no guts, but you sure do stink!”
My jaw dropped off when she walked away,
Now I whistle through my teeth when I try to say:
[Chorus]
No más tacos—my pelvis is shot!
I salsa’d too hard, now I’m tied in a knot!
My tibias tremble, my humerus hurts,
But I’d bonewalk again for those spicy desserts!
[Bridge]
Oh, I got a wishbone but no wishes left,
My heart’s not in it—it’s long been theft!
But my funny bone’s strong, and I laugh through the pain,
With a maraca in hand and a fractured brain!
[Final Chorus]
So no más tacos—but bring on the tunes!
We’ll rattle and roll beneath the full moon!
From femur to phalange, we’re dead but we dine—
On laughter and limes ’til the end of time!
[Outro spoken, dramatically]
“Señores… I may be dead… but I still have beef.”
