Black Flora
 
one dark night amidst the hail and the swell
lived a man name a manny where the tacos dwell
in a place left over after god made hell
name a mexico

manny quit his job down the taco bell
cuz he couldn't stand that fried bean smell
and he hauled right outta that place called hell
to a state called texaco

manny was an artist with a voice to sell
so he made his way north with a story to tell
but he had no belt and his pants done fell
senoritas yell "yo chico!"

meanwhile in virginny was a feller name chris
his love life was kinda like hit and miss
and went to the pokey for stealin' a kiss
she cried "harrasmento!"

chris just didn't like that prison biz
and he didn't take kindly to not havin' a ms.
and he said that soap on a rope just wasn't his
but warden said "no!"

so he plotted to escape and made a fist
at a godsmack concert something went amiss
and the guard was laid out by that con chris
who yelled "freedom ho!"

jolly chillin' chillin' on a chilly chain going
far from the land of cotton and the county they came
craig and will and dan their names
workin' "hi-hoe"

and they's a breakin' rocks all night and day
for sadistic foreman flayin' with no pay
he got to whippin' and they didn't wanna stay
and this don't rhyme with "o" but they kill 'em anyway

and like chris and manny they's on the run
back to the land of cotton to the land of fun
away from the jolly chilly jelly to the place of sun
craig said "go"

manny crossed the border as chris fleed his cell
and he found himself a brand new hell
in old virginny in pepper town he fell
down in the meadow

and in yowell meadow was a maiden fair
throwin' flowers in the drainage with golden hair
but she was autistic and she didn't care
manny say "hello"

with a "how you doin'" and a little kiss
manny courted that maiden with the mental twist
after that she turned out to be chris's sis
and they said "i do"

and the newly weds live with chris today
hidin' in the basement's where they stay
till the chain gang three came down that way
with a "hidey ho"

chris say we're all wanted so you don't hafta pay
but to pass the time we need somethin' to play
and parchesi got old right away
and manny say "whoa!"

the pantsless mexican said "this sucks"
i can sing chris and dan can pluck
and i'll be damned if we don't need some rhythm, duck
and craig on bassito

so they's a band trying to scora a
gig and there name's black flora
and this would be the end-a
the band bio
