Name: Funny: "Sick in Oaxaca"
Duration: P00H02M33S
Description: If you've ever ventured South of the Border, this song needs no explanation. I do apologize for the line about Cortez. Not only was he a ruthless S.O.B. who brought little to Mexico but death and destruction, I've since learned that most Mexican hotels DO have toilet seats. However, this requires shelling out more than $20 a night.

If you've ever ventured South of the Border, this song needs no explanation. I do apologize for the line about Cortez.

lyrics

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?
Oh, the wisdom pain can bring
Just another story from the traveling road
Another lonely rider
on a Mexican commode
Fetch me some papel de bano!!!!
Paper to throw on these ravenous fires
And I cannot go home
'til I abdicate this throne
hopefully sometime 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
Cortez 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 of 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 Quetzalcoatl
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
