lyrics

I was minding my own business
Late last Friday night
The Party – it was happening
The band was outta sight

When a lovely señorita
Turned to me and she did say
“Would you like a jello shot?”
Then she handed me the tray

The first shot grazed my skin
The second shot drove the first one in
The third shot laid me low
I blame it on the jello

She gave a little giggle
And shyly cocked her head
The jello it did wiggle
All yellow green and read

One after the other
Like a choo-choo train
Sliding down my throat
Exploding in my brain

[CHORUS]

1! 2! 3! I knocked them down
3! 2! 1! I hit the ground
Such a lovely little glass
Knocked me on my little…

The band now was playing
A bossa nova beat
The jello it was dancing
On little jello feet

The room she start to twirl
Bells begin to ring
I thought that I would hurl
When I heard an angel sing

The first shot grazed my skin
The second shot drove the first one in
The third shot laid me low
I blame it on the jello
I blame it on the jello
Los culpo gelatina
