The Lyrics
Based on the live "Ummagumma" version of Pink Floyd's classic early space freakout.
Time to eat ground beef, and crumbly cheese
Uno taco y ensalada
Chow 'em down, eat them now
At the fancy taco shop downtown
Que yo ahora comen?
Flautas y nachos y dos tostada
Salsa verde, muy caliente!
(Ay yi, yi yi, ay, yi ,yi yi...)
Arroz y frijoles, what a scene
What made you think that you were all through?
Chow' em down, eat them now
At the fancy taco shop downtown
Cual es su bebida?
Tecate, horchata o tequila?
Salsa verde, muy caliente!
(Ay, yi, yi, yi, Ay, yi yi, yi, yi...)
Dessert on tap
Pick a, pick a, pick a flan--
Wow! Wow!
Do I dare to shove more in there?
(uhhh, uhhh, uhhh, uhhh, uhhh....)
Time to leave the scene and walk around
My stomach's full, it's big and (round)
Time to leave the scene and walk around
I must have gained near 20 pounds!

Muy buena parodia, pero algos errores.
(ABC05) Good, what I could read.
(ABC) Nice job, Agri
(ABC-G 05) Agrimforee, you know I failed Latin, you expect me to know Spanish? No comprende, amigo. Good rhyming though.
(ABC) Bueno Beano, El Maynardo! ;-)
(G) Icenay Objay, Rimorfee-agay. (romfay atwhay Iyay ouldcay elltay.) I particularly liked the part about going to a taco joint and ordering tequila, salsa and squid and the dirty part about the Star Trek communications officer. ;) (Wha???)
(G).No speaka de Spanish. But been there, ate that :-))
Loose Translations (according to altavista's babelfish translator):
ensalada=salad
Que yo ahora comen=what do you want to order?
muy caliente=very hot
Arroz y frijoles=rice and beans
Cual es su bebida=What do you want to drink?
Tecate, horchata o tequila=a brand of beer, "rice milk" or tequila
ensalada=salad
Que yo ahora comen=what do you want to order?
muy caliente=very hot
Arroz y frijoles=rice and beans
Cual es su bebida=What do you want to drink?
Tecate, horchata o tequila=a brand of beer, "rice milk" or tequila
Salsa verda is a green salsa sauce; flautas, I believe, are rolled flatbread with meat or cheese filling..
(G) nice job Agri - I'd whip some up for dinner tonight but we only have 2 working toilets in our house right now
Esta muy bueno, mi amigo! Tres Cincos.
(ABC) Brave work, taking on a bilingual parody. 555
Very impressive, Agrimorfee.
I DKTOS and put off voting too long to download it, but I'll ditto Kristof about it being brave to try Spanish, especially if you don't speak it. But bravery is risky, and as Juan said, there are some mistakes. What stands out the most just be reading it is the character in this story was able to put down so much food - and keep it down - especially with the tequila.
(ABC) DKTOS, but hey, it's about tocos what's not to love. I don't know a lick of spanish, but I was able to pick on nachos, tostada, taquilla, you know the important words. Despite all that, good song.
ABC--I got my degree in English...because I'm too lazy to learn anything else...; ) Nice job, Agri...
(ABC-G) Mexican food is always good. This parody follows in suit.
ABC--Wow, haven't even heard of that song. Fun to read though!
Brilliant take on a 60's classic! This would have made Syd Barrett eat Mexican food
