Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You finished your meal
Now it’s time to go
In Costa Rica
Say it nice and slow
Look at the server
Catch their eye
Smile and say this
Let me show you why
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it like this:
La cuenta, por favor
Say it one more time
Make it clear to the floor
[Chorus]
La cuenta, por favor
La cuenta, por favor
That means the check
That’s what you ask for
La cuenta, por favor
La cuenta, por favor
(Female: la cuenta, por favor)
[Verse 2]
If you want it softer
Keep your voice calm
Just “por favor”
And you’ll be fine, mom
You can point
Then say the line
Easy and polite
Every single time
[Female]
La cuenta, por favor
It sounds clean and kind
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it like this:
La cuenta, por favor
Say it one more time
Make it clear to the floor
[Chorus]
La cuenta, por favor
La cuenta, por favor
That means the check
That’s what you ask for
La cuenta, por favor
La cuenta, por favor
(Male: la cuenta, por favor)
[Bridge]
One more tip
No need to rush
Soft voice, small smile
That’s enough
When you’re ready
You know the line
La cuenta, por favor
Every time
[Final Chorus]
La cuenta, por favor
La cuenta, por favor
That means the check
That’s what you ask for
La cuenta, por favor
La cuenta, por favor
(Both: la cuenta, por favor)
