Pulling On a Mexican Straw

I'm pulling on a Mexican straw Work is done, so I got outta Dodge Now I'm happy to just lie here all day Pulling on a Mexican straw Life here is so slow Don't know if I'll ever go I am finally away from it all Pulling on a Mexican straw My glass sweats in the heat It's a race to finish the drink Lot's of time to lie here I think Pulling on Mexican straws The sun is baking bread Lost all urge to get ahead Doing nothing is such a ball Pulling on a Mexican straw Plugged in my '59 Plain Top Playing like I'll never stop No phone for making calls I just keep pulling on Mexican straws I'm pulling on a Mexican straw There's no time to plug in the clock I'm gonna stay here playing my Paul And pull on a Mexican straw

Thank you. My Muse came to me late in life, but that's ok too. I think I was having a Margarita to get in the mood when I penned this :)
