Biggie Oof - Gracias

I decide to eat lunch
At a Mexican restaurant
I sit down at the table
And the waiter comes

They say, How can I
Help you today?
Can I get you started
With anything?
Is that even a question?

I want salsa and chips
And a bowl of cheese dip
And they say, Okay, we'll be right out with that
What do you want to drink

So I order water
And the waiter writes down water
And the waiter walks away
And I get my food eventually
And I feel like there's something I gotta say

My mind rushes
What words do I speak
So I say the first thing
That I think

I say, こんにちは, こんにちは
Not gracias or thank you for the food
こんにちは, こんにちは
And they just awkwardly say, De nada, ooh
こんにちは, こんにちは
As thanks for Mexican food
こんにちは, こんにちは
I don't think that's Spanish, Mom, do you

I'm like, I'm sorry, man, I meant, gracias
But by the time I say that, they've already walked away from us
And I hang my head
I don't know why I said the word that I said

But when the check comes, and it's time to pay
I have a chance to redeem me
I feel a little sweat in my hands
But I still open up my mouth

My mind rushes
What words do I speak
So I say the first thing
That I think

And I say, Thanks, love you - thanks, love you
Not gracias or just thank you
Thanks, love you - thanks, love you
And they just awkwardly chuckle, as they have to do
Thanks, love you - thanks, love you
To the stranger who served me Mexican food
Thanks, love you - thanks, love you
I don't think that's Spanish, Mom, do you

I thought I would be cool
I'd say words in a different language that I learned in school
But the wrong words came out, so
I couldn't even play it like it was a bad joke

I'll never live this down
I'll have to change my name, dye my hair, move out of this town
Let this be a cautionary tale
Don't wind up like me as well

Just say thank you and be done, just say thank you and be done
And walk out of the restaurant, and walk out of the restaurant, do not
Thank the waiter with こんにちは or, Thanks, love you, or Grazi
Or धन्यवाद or anything else but
Gracias, thank you, Gracias, means thank you
こんにちは doesn't even mean thank you
Just say, Gracias, call it a day
Get it over with

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Just say thank you and be done, just say thank you and be done
And walk out of the restaurant, and walk out of the restaurant, do not
Thank the waiter with こんにちは or, Thanks, love you, or Grazi
Or धन्यवाद or anything else but
Gracias, thank you, Gracias, means thank you
こんにちは doesn't even mean thank you
Just say, Gracias, call it a day
Get it over with
