Remember the Alamo
When help was on the way
It’s better here and now,
I feel that good today.

I’d like to take a walk
But not around the block
I really got some news
I met a man from Mars.
He picked up all my guitars
And played me traveling songs.

And when we got on ship
He brought out
something for the trip
And said, It’s old but it’s good
Like any other primitive would.

I’m gonna ride my llama
From Peru to Texarkana
I wanna ride him good
In my old neighborhood
I’m gonna ride him good
In my old neighborhood.

And when we got on ship
He brought out
something for the trip
And said, It’s old but it’s good
Like any other primitive would.
