La Tamalada Lyrics

Haven't seen my cousins since Matt's wedding

Where I think I had too much and said something

'Cause Uncle Luis blocked me on every platform

And I couldn't tell you what he did that for

But once margaritas are flowing like the Rio Grande

I know everything's gonna be fine

We'll be wrapping tamales, catching up on life

Oh who could stay angry tonight?

Everybody's coming, coming, coming to the tamalada

Everybody's coming, coming, coming to the tamalada

Tia Nacha's making sixty dozen

Tamales for her church and our cousins

She'll send you home with plenty just don't tell her

Still got ten from last year in the freezer

Cesarito's stirring up a mole

While cousin Johnny's talking politics at the TV

He says the president's gonna build up a big wall

But I doubt that it would've stopped grandpa

Andres is covered in masa and spilling his drink

He brought a new girl, but mom invited the ex wife

And I've never felt this close to family before

Even the family I don't recognize

Everybody's coming, coming, coming to the tamalada

Everybody's coming, coming, coming to the tamalada

We'll need un mil de hojas

Fifteen bags maseca

And three industrial tubs of lard

Some hundred buñuelos

Six bottles tequila

And a case of fake beer for grandpa

A new baby Jesus

'Cause Lupe just broke our

Using him as a football

Una vela para abuela

Cigarros por Carlos

And one piñata for us all

Trae a tus primos y a tu mama

Traelos a la tamalada

Desde noche a madrugada

Porque nunca se acaba

Deja algunos para Santa

Porque lejos viajara

Le sostendran en Navidad

Y algo bonito nos dejara

Everybody's coming, coming, coming to the tamalada

Everybody's coming, coming, coming to the tamalada
