Our first rehearsal
Was under a redwood tree
And you brought lyrics and you
Handed them to me
And you said here you are
The only one who can sing this
And I felt kissed and I wondered
If it was just me, just me
If it was just me, just me
Let’s get this party started
Let’s squeeze the lime
The mariachi life
Is really more than fine
You know I’ll meet you
You know I’ll be flyin’ blind

At the appointed time
