Chuck Audette - The Bacon Tree

me and Pedro had dees plan
to get around de INS man
so we snuck across de U.S border
but den got lost and out of order
in de desert now for days
de hunger, eet ees maken us craze
den smelt a smell dat was so yummy
we were led to by our tummy
over de top of de dune we see
de most pretty mirage dat ever could be
for, if we are not meestaken
dat's a tree all covered in bacon!
I tink I smell Maple-flavored
and Hickory smoke, oh how I savored
Pedro says, 'dat's Canadian-style! '
but someting bugs me all de while
dees cant be
no bacon tree
we must be going loco
Pedro says 'I geet me some!
and den I find some cocoa'
so down to de tree he so happy runs
when out of de leaf poke ten machine guns
pow pow pow! dey guns attack!
Pedro screams and runs on back
'I'm bleeding! Dey shot at me!
I got one in the tush!
No way ees dat a bacon tree!
eet ees
a HAM bush! '
