The Walking Taco

by The Cog is Dead

supported by

J.M. Waverman Well, I've seen all there is to see. And who would want to see more?

Ashley Bordignon To make a song about something like this with these lyrics and to make it totally catchy and amazing is the most talented thing I have seen happen anywhere in a while... Yes... this song is a lot of yes!

Cynicallia It's a tremendous honor to feel like I helped nudge this beautiful thing into existence. I wonder.. will you touch on the Oreo invasion? They make everything from frozen churros, to no-bake pie, to breakfast cereal.

lyrics

There's something lurking in the grocery store
They say its been there for a year or more
Then lightning struck that building and it sprang to life
Now that tortilla's got a knife! Yikes! Run for your life!

The Walking Taco's coming after you tonight!
A hard shell horror filled with beans and rice
The Walking Taco's only looking for a bite
It's an evening of guacamole and fright! The taco walks tonight!

And as the taco makes his way toward you
He's joined by flautas and burritos too!
The chimichangas chill your right down to the core
An entre army mas sabor! Cor! Here comes some more!

The Walking Taco's coming after you tonight!
A hard shell horror filled with beans and rice
The Walking Taco's only looking for a bite
It's an evening of guacamole and fright! The taco walks tonight!

SPOKEN: The taco walks across the land
And he extends his little hand
He comes to you on bended knee
And offers you his taco plea

If you could look inside of me so
Small and filled with stale chorizo
You'd see I don't wish to cause you fright
I just want you to be my amigo tonight!

The Walking Taco's only looking for a friend
He's no desire for your life to end
The Walking Taco will make everything alright
It's an evening of guacamole delight!
The Taco Walks Tonight!
