Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
Tor (G major) tilla Española.
Tortil (F major) la Española.
(E minor) That was...
(G major) I don't know how to tell you this.
That's an omelette.
Not a tortilla.
Not a tortilla.
Not a tortilla.
I don't (G major) know.
I would assume that a Spanish
(G major) person
would have met a (F sharp minor) Mexican by now,
but (G major) That's not a tortilla.
Maybe the Mexicans are so nice,
they don't want to tell you.
Like the (F major) Spaniards are like,
here's a tortil (G major) la Española.
(F major) And the Mexicans are like, (G major) bueno.
(A minor) Bueno on the tortilla.
That's very good.
(G major) That's, it's tortilla Española.
That (F major) is (G major) an omelette.
That's potato omelette.
Even people in Ireland are like,
I don't eat a potato omelette.
No thanks, (G major) but tortilla,
it's a potato omelette.
And you know,
I've eaten a lot of omelettes,
Jim, we can tell.
And you know, I've never really wanted
a potato one.
What do you want in your omelette?
Potatoes, and is it okay if we
call it a burrito?
Can we do that?
Tortilla española bocadillo.
So there's a tortilla española sandwich.
Hey, I love carbs, I do.
But there is a threshold
where you're like...
You know what, I'll have (B5) the
(G major) tortilla es (B flat major) pañola sandwich
and (G major) the potato omelet sandwich.
Can we put,
can we put some rice on there?
(D major) I'd love some rice and
(G major) maybe some pasta.
Can we put pasta?
Just hear me out, hear me out.
If we put pasta (F major) an (G major) d then, I don't know,
I feel like there should be some more in there.
This guy's a jerk.
But you guys love potatoes.
He patata brava,
imagine the bravery involved in putting sauce on potatoes.
What kind of man is he?
(F sharp minor) Have you seen how he
(G major) eats his potatoes?
With sauce on them.
He is a real man.
Now I would never come
(F sharp minor) to your beautiful country
(E major) and tell you that gazpacho soup
is uncooked tomato soup.
(G major) I would never do that because
that's not the type (F sharp major) of person I (G major) am.
I am humbled and gracious
and I wouldn't say someone was
(F major) too lazy to cook (G major) it. I wouldn't say that.
this guy's gonna get beat up
I wouldn't even say ole like
when I was at the (B flat major) flamenco show
occasion (G major) ally someone would just say
(F major) ole
they'd be like ole ole
(B flat major) and it was just like random
and obviously it's kind of (E major) a cheer
it's like you know an
(G major) d I was like
I kind of wanted to say ole
and every now and then
someone would look at me
and they'd be like, not you.
Not you, Gary,
you don't get to say ole.
