Bring Out Your Best [NDC-TT]
Ande
Original language: Auto detect[Intro]
[Mariachi brass fanfare, festive and slightly too cheerful]
¡Ándale! ¡Ándale!
[Verse 1]
The doctor said I've got six months, maybe less
I said "well that's convenient, I must confess
I've got a list of things I never dared to try"
He said "sir please sit down" — I said "¡Adiós!"
I called my lawyer on the way out the door
Said "add a clause they've never seen before
Every guest must come without a stitch of clothes
Or they don't get a single thing I own — ¡Ay!"
[Pre-Chorus]
When you've got nothing left to lose
You've got everything to gain
¡Arriba! Let the trumpets play!
[Chorus]
Bring out your best, it's almost over
¡Ay caramba! What a way to go
File the paperwork, update the will
Add the neighbor — no, he will just spend it on save the beavers dot com
Bring out your best, no time for crying
¡Viva! We are living till we're not
Might as well do everything you shouldn't
'Cause you're going to the same place either way — ¡Ay!
[Verse 2]
I found a mobility scooter — modified
With a turbo kit the manual can't describe
They said the motocross track wasn't meant for me
I said "señor, have a heart! I'll be dead by January"
I ate the steak the cardiologist forbade
I called my ex to have the last word that I'd saved
She hung up — so I called again
Left forty messages — ¡muy bien!
[Pre-Chorus]
When you've got nothing left to lose
You've got everything to gain
¡Arriba! Let the trumpets play!
[Chorus]
Bring out your best, it's almost over
¡Ay caramba! What a way to go
File the paperwork, update the will
Add the mailman — or.. no, he'll just spend it on someone's wife
Bring out your best, no time for crying
¡Viva! We are living till we're not
Might as well do everything you shouldn't
'Cause you're going to the same place either way — ¡Ay!
[Bridge — spoken over gentle guitarrón]
Now I'm writing my review of my own funeral
One star — the flowers were completely wrong
I said no lilies, I specifically said no lilies
And whoever chose the music — not that song
But the dress code — now that was a triumph
Every guest arrived exactly as requested
The dress code? Perfect. Not a thread among them.
Best funeral I've ever seen — and I've seen a few
[Final Chorus — full mariachi explosion]
Bring out your best, it's almost over
¡Ay caramba! What a way to go
File the paperwork, update the will
Tell the trumpet player — not THAT one, no
Bring out your best, we're done complaining
¡Viva! We are laughing as we go
Might as well do everything you shouldn't
'Cause you're going to the same place — high or low — ¡Ay!
[Outro]
[Mariachi fades, single trumpet holds]
¡Ay, ay, ay!
See you on the other side
Bring a jacket — I hear it's cold
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Mariachi dark humor anthem about making the most of whatever time is left — not with joy about dying, but with the liberating absurdity of having nothing to lose. A modified turbo mobility scooter on a motocross track.
A mandatory naked dress code at the funeral.
Forty voicemails to an ex. A one-star review of one's own funeral ("the flowers were completely wrong").
Monty Python energy meets Mexican brass in a celebration of the ridiculous dignity of the final chapter.
