Lyrics

Chíngate (Means I Love You)

I found her on the internet
My Spanish Queen
For $19.95
I could watch her pee
No language barrier
Could keep her from me
I knew this was the girl I was bound to marry

I flew her out to ‘Merica
And bought her things
Like 20 dollar meals
From Burger King
I asked her then and there
To marry me
She ate another fry, and then she told me
She said “Chíngate!” (hey hey hey hey)
…means that she loves me

And at the church, we said our vows
That we both wrote
The words of love, I said
Stuck in my throat
And when it came time
For her to speak
She lifted up her veil
Here’s what she told me:

She said the quality of mercy is not strained
It dropeth from the heavens
Just like rain
And in this way I love you
Every day
Obviously I’m kidding
Here’s what she really said
She said “Chíngate!” (hey hey hey hey)
…means that we’re married
…means that I love you
…and that’s forever
