Lyrics

[Verse 1]
[F] Walk in smiling, head up, easy
Say "Buenas" first, keep it breezy
[M] If they ask you, "¿Mesa para cuántos?"
Answer in English, then learn the count, yo

[F] "Por favor" goes a long way
"Una mesa para dos," that's what you say
[M] If you need the check, stay polite
"¿La cuenta, por favor?" sounds clean tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
[F] Slow it down, let them hear you try
[M] Point to the menu, meet their eye
[F] "Quisiera..." means "I would like"
[M] Then drop the dish name, keep it light

[Chorus]
[F] "Buenas" when you walk in
(M) "Buenas" when you walk in
[F] "Una mesa para dos"
(M) "Una mesa para dos"

[F] "La cuenta, por favor"
(M) "La cuenta, por favor"
[F] Say it clear, say it kind
[M] Dinner time, you’ll do fine

[Verse 2]
[M] To order coffee, say "un café"
If you want water, "agua, por favor" today
[F] "Sin hielo" means no ice in the cup
"Con hielo" means yes, fill it up

[M] If the plate's amazing, say "Qué rico"
If you need help, say "Disculpe, amigo"
[F] For the spicy side, ask "¿Pica mucho?"
Keep your tone calm, keep it cool, amigo

[Pre-Chorus]
[M] Short words first, then your smile
[F] Wait your turn, it goes a mile
[M] "Para llevar" if you want it packed
[F] "Más salsa" if you're coming back

[Chorus]
[F] "Buenas" when you walk in
(M) "Buenas" when you walk in
[F] "Una mesa para dos"
(M) "Una mesa para dos"

[F] "La cuenta, por favor"
(M) "La cuenta, por favor"
[F] Say it clear, say it kind
[M] Dinner time, you’ll do fine

[Bridge]
[F] If you mess up, just try again
[M] Restaurant staff respect that, friend
[F] One small phrase can open doors
[M] English speaker, Spanish scores

[F] "Gracias" when you leave that seat
(M) "Gracias" when you leave that seat
[F] Real simple, real smooth, real sweet
[M] That’s how you keep the whole meal neat

[Chorus]
[F] "Buenas" when you walk in
(M) "Buenas" when you walk in
[F] "Una mesa para dos"
(M) "Una mesa para dos"

[F] "La cuenta, por favor"
(M) "La cuenta, por favor"
[F] Say it clear, say it kind
[M] Dinner time, you’ll do fine
