	Story Behind the Song The song was originally a little over two minutes long, but the band expanded it. As with many of the songs from the Clear sessions, the basic track was recorded in just a few takes and augmented some weeks later. In this case the song needed an interesting middle break, so Kent recorded the mariachi guitars, Dave strapped on his accordian, and Rick added some Acid Pro percussion loops. Lyrics I was down in Ciudad Two hundred pesos all I had For seven days that I would spend Abandoned by my friends With sangria and gin I went to the regatta but I felt like a piņata With my entrails spilling out Just when I could no longer stand Someone took me by the hand Understand, you gotta go now An old man said Cause you've got Montezuma's Revenge And you no gonna like it He said you've got Montezuma's Revenge Oh no! I wished that I was dead and cursed Hernando de Cortez For the affliction he had wrought The bicarbonate I bought made me vomit food for thought I didn't know the lingo and they didn't care for gringos At the flophouse where I stayed As I stumbled towards the plane I heard voices in the rain The flight crew was tellin' me Understand, you gotta go now The old man said Cause you've got Montezuma's Revenge And you no gonna like it
