Yum! Chicken
There was an old man a long time ago
He starved all the way to El Dorado.
Then, he bought a few chickens.
They were so finger lickin’
He happily laughed ‘til he started to crow!

Slimy gloppy corn smut
Smeared on a tortilla
Tastes like a monkey's butt
Thank you, Pancho Villa.
Crows' hearts in chili sauce
Beer-battered crickets
Bad luck and double-cross
Ten dollar tickets.
Bar fight in El Dorado
Devil on the trail
Mule train in Colorado
Bandits of the rail.
Vampires and gunslingers
Snakes off the grill
Harlots, saloon keepers,
Ghosts of Boot Hill.

Family means the most to me
And yet it is dry ice in my hands
Wind across the shivering sands
El Dorado of wilted destiny
Family means the most to me
From the beginning of my quest
My heart like a tongue yearning at its breast
The stag the fawns forever flee
Family means the most to me
O God, give my fingers strength to hold
Volumes of its shreds of gold
Family means the most to me.

When I've seen all the seven wonders,
And sailed beyond rainbow’s end.
When I’ve crossed the lost horizon
And discover Nirvana, again.
When I’ve conquered El Dorado.
When I reign in Shangri-La.
When I’ve colonized Utopia,
And claim hegemony in Oz.
When I’ve slain these restless demons
That give chase to the sun and the moon,
I’ll be back where I started, a pilgrim come home,
With the bells of Saint Mary’s chiming at noon.
