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!
