[ti:In Old Mexico] [ar:Tom Lehrer] [al:The Very Best of Tom Lehrer] [offset:0] [00:00.94]I'm sure you're all aware that this week is national gall [00:04.48]Bladder week and so as sort of an educational feature at [00:12.52]This point i thought i would acquaint you with some of the [00:14.49]Results of my recent researches into the career of the late [00:16.88]Doctor samuel gall inventor of the gall bladder which [00:24.12] [00:25.27]Certainly ranks as one of the more important technological [00:27.73]Advances since the invention of the joy buzzer and the dribble [00:31.80]Glass [00:33.58]Dr dr gall's faith in his invention was so dramatically vindicated [00:41.04]Last year as you no doubt recall when for the first time [00:44.17]In history in a nationwide poll the gall bladder was voted [00:47.85]Among the top ten organs [00:51.89] [00:59.36]His his educational career began interestingly enough in [01:02.61]Agricultural school where he majored in animal husbandry [01:06.28]Until they caught him at it one day [01:09.23] [01:25.52]Whereupon [01:27.17]Whereupon he switched [01:27.89]To the field of medicine in which field he also won renown as [01:31.38]The inventor of gargling which prior to that time had been [01:36.80]Practiced only furtively by a remote tribe in the andes who [01:41.06]Passed the secret down from father to son as part of their [01:44.37]Oral tradition [01:46.44] [01:47.27]He soon became a specialist specializing in diseases of the [01:57.25]Rich he was therefore able to retire at an early age [02:09.93]To the land we all dream about sunny mexico of course [02:13.82]The last part of which is completely irrelevant as was the [02:16.64]Whole thing i guess except it's a rather sneaky way of [02:19.04]Getting into this next type of popular song which is one [02:21.75]Of those things about that magic and romantic land south of [02:25.60]The border [02:27.98] [02:35.14]When it's fiesta time in guadalajara [02:46.14]Then i long to be back once again [02:49.04]In old mexico [02:54.13]Where we lived for today never giving a thought to tomara [03:00.96]To the strumming of guitars [03:02.79]In a hundred grubby bars [03:04.67]I would whisper te amo [03:08.89]The mariachis would serenade [03:11.97]And they would not shut up till they were paid [03:15.42]We ate we drank and we were merry [03:18.30]And we got typhoid and dysentery [03:22.65] [03:25.47]But best of all we went to the plaza de toros [03:28.82]Now whenever i start feeling morose [03:31.23]I revive by recalling that scene [03:36.51] [03:38.50]And names like belmonte domingu'in and manolete [03:42.38]If i live to a hundred and eighty [03:43.75] [03:44.92]I shall never forget what they mean [03:48.46] [03:55.79]Spoken for there is surely nothing more beautiful in this [03:58.35]World than the sight of a lone man facing single handedly [04:03.67]A half a ton of angry pot roast [04:08.28] [04:15.18]Out came the matador [04:16.67]Who must have been potted or [04:18.58]Slightly insane but who looked rather bored [04:24.47]Then the picadors of course [04:26.04]Each one on his horse [04:27.69]I shouted ol é ev'ry time one was gored [04:32.07] [04:33.94]I cheered at the banderilleros display [04:37.09]As they stuck the bull in their own clever way [04:39.74]For i hadn't had so much fun since the day [04:43.23]My brother's dog rover [04:45.46]Got run over [04:47.23] [04:51.81]Spoken rover was killed by a pontiac and it was done [04:56.08]With such grace and artistry that the witnesses awarded the [04:59.97]Driver both ears and the tail but i digress [05:14.14] [05:14.79]The moment had come [05:16.08]I swallowed my gum [05:17.83]We knew there'd be blood on the sand pretty soon [05:24.02]The crowd held its breath [05:25.86]Hoping that death [05:27.27]Would brighten an otherwise dull afternoon [05:31.33] [05:32.90]At last the matador did what we wanted him to [05:36.60]He raised his sword and his aim was true [05:39.26]In that moment of truth i suddenly knew [05:44.87]That someone had stolen my wallet [05:48.79] [05:55.37]Now it's fiesta time in akron ohio [06:06.25]But it's back to old guadalajara i'm longing to go [06:13.48]Far away from the strikes of the a f of l and c i o [06:20.45]How i wish i could get back [06:22.33]To the land of the wetback [06:23.90]And forget the alamo [06:27.45]In old mexico [06:31.85]Ol é [06:32.46]In Old Mexico - Tom Lehrer [06:33.39]
