out for some food, i went down to del taco
well known to all in the mexican world
night times would find me enjoying my dinner
i thought i'd give the fajitas a whirl

blacker than night were the beans in fajitas
sizzling and seasoned and spicy as hell
my love was deep for this mexican favorite
i thought this stuff surely beat taco bell

one night i found myself all settled in
having fajitas again
found myself daring more hot sauce, not caring
cause flaming fajitas are something i loved

but there's danger

i chomped with delight, but my fervor soon faded
down went my hand for some rolaids, galore
my heartburn had tripled in less than a heartbeat
i felt so strange that i slumped to the floor

just for a moment, my gut felt such violence
shocked by the foul evil feeding, i'd done
loudly, a noise from behind as i lay there
i ruined my pants...cause i had the runs

out through my back door, my dinner has come
lordy, i sure was surprised
this is a bad one...i looked like a sad one
such an attack left me tied up inside

but at long last

i found i could rise from the floor of del taco
weak from the cuisine of old mexico

done with del taco, i found myself mirthless
i'd stained myself that night...no pride was left
since things went wrong, blander food, i've been tasting
i want fajitas, but i fear my death

i saddened up just because i can't go
dining, no longer a lark
maybe tomorrow, you'll find me right back there
but now, i'm still cursed by this burn in my heart

but at last here

i am on the street that will lead to del taco
hope that my stomach will rumble no more
my urge is strong, plus i'm known to be ornery
said with a chill, "two fajitas, to go"

maybe that night, should have ate me a poorboy
maybe just shrimp, or some fries by the score
cramping with poop wouldn't be my reaction
yet, i had to try my fajitas once more

something is dreadfully wrong cause i feel
a deep burning pain down inside
though i am trying to keep myself stable
i'm getting teary and just can't abide

but my love for

fajitas is strong so i scarf up the other
my gut was searing, i have to attest
i take antacids, but with me, it trifles
i've an inferno right there in my chest

from out of nowhere, fajitas have downed me
slowly, i creep, barely make it outside
done myself harm, but this meal i would die for
last little bite of fajita...goodbye
