Now, Alice Flynn from Montana. There's a true folksinger any day of the week. I heard the Clancy Brothers sing "The Work of the Weavers," and I wrote "The Work of the Landlord" to the same tune. (It should be in the DT.) Then Alice comes along and parodies my parody with her own song, "The Work of the Guru." Darn, that's the highest honor a fellow can get!

And, Janice, thanks for reminding me.

BABY, LET ME BUY YOU A TACO

Music: "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down" by Eric Von Schmidt, based on traditional
Words: Stephen L. Suffet © 1978, 2001

Baby, let me buy you a taco,
We can go to this place called Paco's,
I'd do anything in this God Almighty world,
If you just let me buy you a taco.

Let me fill it with my refried beans,
Guacamole and my sweet sour cream,
I'd do anything in this God Almighty world,
If you just let me buy you a taco.

Let me top it with Jalisco queso,
Baby, it will cost just a peso,
I'd do anything in this God Almighty world,
If you just let me buy you a taco.

Some chilis and a hot jalapeño,
So spicy you never can say no,
I'd do anything in this God Almighty world,
If you just let me buy you a taco.

I'll give you my salsa picante,
While I sing just like Jimmy Durante,
I'd do anything in this God Almighty world,
If you just let me buy you a taco.

Baby, I'll never mistreat you,
If you come and taste my burrito,
I'd do anything in this God Almighty world,
If you just let me buy you a taco.

Baby, let me buy you some flan,
Let me be your sweet loving man,
I'd do anything in this God Almighty world,
If you just let me buy you a taco.

Baby, let me buy you a taco,
We can go to this place called Paco's,
I'd do anything in this God Almighty world,
If you just let me buy you a taco.
