Land of Enchantment (Orale!)
Michelle S. sends this.
The Lee Greenwood karaoke soundtrack is seriously-mentally-challenged, and having Susana Martinez there really grates, but the rest is sound enough.
Lyrics:
If tomorrow green chile was gone
I'd howl like a lobo
And race like a roadrunner
To Santuario de Chimayo
I'd pray to the folks in Hatch
And Mesilla Valley too
Cause smothered is a way of life
And it's Burque not the Q!
And I'm proud to be a New Mexican,
Where the chips and salsa are free.
And you know someone, who knows someone
Who's on DWI three
As Zozobra burns up!
I can see the hoopties bounce away
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this Land
Of Enchantment orale!
From the aliens in Roswell
To the land of Georgia O'Keefe
Across all the pueblos
To a place called T or C
From the famous Balloon Fiesta
To the art in Santa Fe
I can stop at Saven Elaven for booze,
Where it's happy hour all day.
And I'm proud to be a New Mexican,
Where the chips and salsa are free.
And you know someone, who knows someone
Who's on DWI three
As Zozobra burns up!
I can see the hoopties bounce away
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this Land
Of Enchantment orale!
