The Bean Enchilada Song

Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Rupert Holmes (Escape, The Pina Colada Song)

I was tired of my diet, 

wanted more food on my plate

Even after one whole week, 

I hadn't lost any weight

So while I sat there starving, 

I started surfing the web

An ad popped up from the corner, 

you won't believe what it said


"If you like bean enchiladas, 

and gettin' refills of pop

If you hate tiny portions, 

if you don't like to stop

If you like hangin' round til midnight, 

stuffing food in your snout

Here's the restaurant you´ve looked for,

come on in and pig out"


I didn't think about my diet, 

I know that sounds kind of sad

But when I read through their menu, 

Well I was tempted really, really bad

So I went to the restaurant, 

I got a table in front

And when they asked what I wanted, 

I said, "I'm going to be blunt"


"I want some bean enchiladas, 

I want free refills of pop

I despise tiny portions, 

and I don't like to stop

I'll probably hang around til midnight, 

stuffing food in my snout

You're the restaurant I´ve dreamed of, 

and I plan to pig out"


Just then a new patron walked in, 

I heard the door slam shut

I knew his chins in an instant, 

I knew the curve of his gut

It was my friend ____ ____, ← insert audience member's name

and he said, "Ah, it´s you"

And we laughed for a moment, 

and I said, "I never knew"


"That you liked bean enchiladas, 

and drinking gallons of pop

That you hate tiny portions, 

That you don't like to stop

If you can hang around til midnight, 

stuffing food in your snout

I've got room at my table,

Sit on down, let's pig out"


"If you like bean enchiladas, 

and getting refills of pop

If you hate tiny portions, 

if you don't like to stop

If you like hangin' round til midnight, 

stuffing food in your snout

Here's the restaurant you´ve looked for,

come on in and pig out"
