A lonely American jazz singer falls for a beautiful Mexican girl and wakes up lost and broke. But was it just a dream from drinking too much? Uptempo Latin jazz featuring full latin percussion section, trumpet, and trombone. A fun, vibrant song for beach, travel, poolside, vacation themes. Sounds like La Bamba with a touch of Caribbean Calypso. Also available as an instrumental version.

| Lyrics: | Hey hey Senorita With your smile so bright I'm just a new boy in town with no one to dance with On a Saturday night, Saturday night"" She said, ""Oh come my boy let me love you To me you're all the same I'll be your passionate lover, so nice to meet you Tequila's my name Mi llamo Tequila Mi llamo Tequia"" We had one drink to our new love One drink to our health One drink from the fancy bottle On the very top shelf She gave me one kiss on my forehead Two kisses on my mouth Three kisses somewhere else And then the lights went out I woke up in Northern Chihuahua All my money was gone Senora mayor was fanning my forehead Humming a Mexican song Musica Tejana I cried ""Please help me find my Tequila She's lost or so I fear"" The woman just smiled, showed me a bottle Said ""Son, right here; beber esta Tequila Beber esta Tequila"" I never will forget the day we met I don't regret the things I've done I only wish to hear her sweet voice ""Mi llamo Tequila"" |

Buddy Moncrief
Somewhere out on New Route 66, about 50 miles west of Sinatra and 75 miles east of Tom Waits, Swanson struts his swingin' and singin'. He loves Dave Frishberg songs and Johnny Walker in a tumbler. He'd like to hear Kurt Elling cover Stone Temple Pilots. Lonnie Johnson is God.
On his latest full-length release "We Can't Party Like We Used To" (2009 Acoustic SwaneeLand), Swanson pounds out 12 original vocal jazz cuts with a cool retro vibe. His bluesy vocals and tasty guitar licks remind of crooners past and present - Sinatra, Cole, John Pizzarelli come to mind - but his clever songwriting has a leaner, edgier feel to it that puts him squarely in the current century.
