[Chorus: x2] Ooh la la la la la la la Ooh la la la la la la la Ooh la la la la la la la El Capitan! I've been rockin' since the 1900s A microphone and two 1200's So back in the day we use to f*ck with Alize Now we kick it with the liquid from Kingston J.A. In the morning you be crudo make you eat menudo Pissin' out your culo got to act the foolo I like it on ice with Coca~Cola I sip it from L.A. to Capitola Watch out for the rollas pull over to the shoulder Shoulda started drinkin' when I was much older Some like gin, some like tonic I like the Captain with a half-ounce of chronic [Chorus] One night in the summer about two months back I went out on the town without a plan of attack Heineken, shots of 151 And a bottle of what we call El Capitan What happened that night you can't quite recall The fact is, boy, you can't remember it all You woke up in the morning with a spinnin' head And a teenage girl lyin' next to you in bed You kicked her out and then you slammed the door Trying to forget about the night before A month goes by you can't remember the date Girls at the door says "Boy I'm late!" That's what you get for outplayin' the ho And now you got a kid with a girl you don't know And the first thing you thought when she dropped the bomb Shouldn't have been fucking with El Capitan [Chorus] Now drop the chalupa pick up the mic And let the party people know just what ya like Well it comes from Puerto Rico So you know that I be diggin' it And if the bottle's empty then you know that I been swiggin' it Hittin it now the Party' legit Hynas getting lit shakin' tha booties and tits We the OPM clique and that's how we roll So get some education from the man shakin' low Now Captain Morgan was a pirate dude He used to jag motherfuckers and act real rude As a real live person he wasn't much fun But he sure made a good ass bottle of rum [Chorus]
