[Chorus]
Bring on the Tequila, oh
On fire on Tequila, oh

[Verse 1]
My friends and I meet hours before
We make some home made pizza
We do some funny bits back and forth
My knees buckle, I laugh so hard
We might end three sheets to wind
And who knows where we'll wind up
All I know is there’s a car waiting and we’ll figure that out after
I have to keep my eye on my old friend from high school
We’ve known each other for the longest time
She has trouble with her dance so to speak
She can hoist a really good kick in the butt when she's excited
She doesn’t do it so much anymore
'Cause we’re all on to her

[Chorus]
Bring on the Tequila, oh
On fire on Tequila, oh
Hostess most on Tequila, oh
Bestest friends on Tequila, oh

[Verse 2]
Then there’s my other pretty friend from high school
The predator in me is put to shame by the predator in her
And now I've reeled it in
It’ll be interesting to see how much she’s done as well
Then there’s my friend from Chicago
God do I love all people from Chicago
All ready to light up the barbecue
And be harping on debauchery

[Chorus]
Bring on the Tequila, oh
On fire on Tequila, oh
Hostess most on Tequila, oh
Bestest friends on Tequila oh
(Tequila, Tequila, Tequila)
(Tequila, Tequila, Tequila)

[Verse 3]
Then there’s my Canadian friend
What a fabulous mom she’s become
She’s been tortured in this sense
For the last many of months for obvious reasons
She was like, "Hey where was this part of you when I wasn’t pregnant"
I laughed and did a shot in her honor as I conversed with her belly

[Chorus]
Bring on the Tequila, oh
On fire on Tequila, oh
Hostess most on Tequila, oh
Bestest friends on Tequila, oh

[Verse 4]
Then there’s my Cupid friend
She sure knows how to dress that one
She’s a wise and worldly girl
But you gotta watch that medication
My favorite beverage is taken to a whole other level on it
I’m not worried about her I’ll coast around the room
While I trust she’ll temper
My brother came to visit me
And now he’s used to hanging with me and cracking up
But he had no idea about my built up tolerance
No idea about how manipulative I’ve become
I would surreptitiously put it in front of him without him asking
In a pretty little shot glass
His smirk and cackle would only egg me on

[Chorus]
Bring on the Tequila, oh
On fire on Tequila, oh
Hostess most on Tequila, oh
Bestest friends on Tequila, oh

Alanis Morissette

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
