It's an awful surprise to open your eyes
To wake up in some strange bed
Now I don't recall how I got here at all
The tequila went to my head

Some señorita took a liking to me
But that was three days ago
What'll I tell Virginia
When I get home from Mexico

I guess I could say I was kidnapped
And I fooled 'em and I got away
Maybe I lost my memory
Just got it back today

But oh, no, no, if I lie it'll show
She'll look in my eyes and she'll know
What'll I tell Virginia
When I get home from Mexico

It's not easy to hold the car on the road
But I'm trying my best to be brave
My eyes are all red, got an ache in my head
And I wish I had time to shave

Searching my mind for some last minute line
There's nothing worth saying, I know
What'll I tell Virginia
When I get home from Mexico

I guess I could say I was kidnapped
And I fooled 'em and I got away
Maybe I lost my memory
Just got it back today

But oh, no, no, if I lie it'll show
She'll look in my eyes and she'll know
So what'll I tell Virginia
When I get home from Mexico

Oh, what'll I tell Virginia
When I get home from Mexico
