SICK IN OAXACA
Sick to my guts in Oaxaca
having a hell of a time
If I ever get my hands
on that taco-stand man...
Enchiladas con chorizo
shouldn't I know not to eat so
many foolish things?
O, the wisdom pain can bring!
Just another story from the travelling road
Another lonely rider on a Mexican commode
Fetch me some papel de baño
paper to throw on these ravenous fires
and I cannot go home
til I abdicate this throne...
Hopefully some time before my passport expires
Sick to my guts in Oaxaca
buns on the porcelain rim
If you've ever been to Mexico
I guess you already know
Toilet seats are something
that Cortéz forgot to bring with him
Montezuma!
O, hear me, great vindictive king who bears that name
Can't you see this anglo boy is not to blame?
Call off this war on my innocent colon
(I truly am sorry your treasures got stolen)
But Pepto de Bismol I've chugged by the bottle
still I stare at a bowl full of Quetzlcoatl!!!
Won't you take pity on a skinny musician?
I'm not such a gringo...
I'm from San Francisco...
I live in the Mission.
