The Lyrics

It's weird enough I can even still do this.
I’ve traded Starbucks for Olé, my dear
I like to walk more than ride bikes
And you can hear in my Southern drawl when I talk
I’m a gringo in México

Make burgers better than burritos
Foreign books I like to buy
Here I’m easy and fun to mock
I’m a gringo in México

Oh, I’m estupido, un culero, pendejo
I’m a gringo in México
Oh, I’m un gran puto, un cabrón puñetero
I’m a gringo in México

If “hard times make strong men” as some would say
With good times he must repay
It takes a man to have a good face in bad times
Be yourself, regardless of bad days

Oh, I’m extranjero, un mamón, un mandilón
I’m a gringo in México
Oh, I’m an inculto, un puñal, mongoloide
I’m a gringo in México

Must we all be boasting in any other country?
Beasts like bulls are not the only ones
Horns, tusks, even sharp teeth, are found in all societies
Mess with them and it’s no more games and fun

Takes more than persistence to gain one’s trust
Takes more than survival to live life
Help the least fortunate but only if you must
Too much philanthropy’s never required

If “hard times make strong men” as some would say
With good times he must repay
It takes a man to have a good face in bad times
Be yourself, regardless of bad days
Be yourself, regardless of bad days
Be yourself, regardless of bad days

Be yourself, regardless of bad days (I am bien feo, I’m bien tonto de mierda)
Be yourself, regardless of bad days (I’m a gringo in México)
Be yourself, regardless of bad days (I’m ignorante, un retrasado mental)
Be yourself, regardless of bad days (I’m a gringo in México)

It's funny to be in a place where your own language isn't what's spoken there, is it? Of course, going to Japan, EVERYTHING is different! The language, writing system, driving in the left lane, YOU.
