Lyrics
HIS PANIC
©2005 Ray Kainz
People say I?m Hispanic perhaps maybe I am
Though my dad?s from Deutschland and my mom?s she?s Korean
People say I?m Hispanic so therefore I must be
Though my mom?s she?s Korean and my dad?s from Germany
If my friends were wonder bread I?d hang with peter pan
I?d get stuck in the middle and be mistaken for jam
At the karaoke bar I?m no singing Spartan
I?d get stage fright then drop the mic and still be mistaken for Ricky Martin
People say I?m Hispanic so therefore I must be
Though my dad eats sauerkraut and my mom eats lots of kim-chee
If I were under water with no trunks covering my ass
The fish would look at my big mouth and think ?what an ugly Chilean Sea Bass?
Once I went to starbucks I bought a double-shot vanilla venti
I stood there with two straws in my clutch everybody thought I was Tito Puente
People say I?m Hispanic But do they really know
How much I love tequila and the senoritas
And the Grande Burrito
When I go to taco bell to order a nacho plate
The manager she glares at me she says ?Amigo ? why are you late?!??
She makes me wear a uniform and say, ?Can I take your order??
So when I?m drunk and I want some food I don?t run for the border
People think I?m Hispanic and I still wonder why
When I get spoken Spanish to, I shrug my shoulders and I sigh
Once I had an afro once when I was just eighteen
I hung with brother Washington he called me Juan Epstein
I started learning Spanish ?cause I figured ?what the hell??
I was fighting a losing battle anyway ?cause no one could even tell
That I am not Hispanic that I am just a man
Whose father is from Germany and mom is Korean
Oley!
