The Hard Taco Project
is a Simple Concept

I will write and record one song a month,
every month, until I am dead



I have been doing this since
1993 and so far my health is good.

Dreaming at the Top of My Lungs

Download Song

 

Down, down, down
I'm so down
The king of down is what I am
Up, up, up
Id give it all up
Just to make you give a damn
In in in
In too deep and while my heart is still intact
Out out out
I should run because you wear me out
But I still come back
 
Tears are falling all around me
Falling tears that fall like rain
Towering walls of what surround me
Pain.
 
I'm dreaming at the top of my lungs
When I hold you I'm all thumbs
But I can get better
Dreaming at the top of my lungs
I got this feeling when it comes
This is forever
Forever!
 
Clip my wings
Just to have another feather for your cap
Drive me mad
First you drive me mad
Then you drive a victory lap and
 
Tears are falling all around me
Falling tears that fall like rain
Towering walls of what surround me
Pain. Pain!
 
I'm dreaming at the top of my lungs
When I hold you I'm all thumbs
But I can get better
Dreaming at the top of my lungs
I got this feeling when it comes
This is forever
Forever!
Forever!
Forever, forever.
 
I'm dreaming at the top of my lungs
When I hold you I'm all thumbs
But I swear to you girl,
I swear I can get better, now
I'm dreaming at the top of my lungs
When I hold you
When I know
When it comes
It's going to be absolutely forever girl.

Dr. Fenwick's Snake Oil

Download Song

Fenwick: I'm a doctor by vocation
But my greatest innovation
Was the liniment your eyes are soon to see
Here it is, fresh from our factory
Cures all ailments once refractory
And endorsed by Dr. F himself! (That's me)

Man 1 and Woman 1: Plagued by dropsy or dyspepsia
Rheumatism Epilepsia
Here's the panacea for your maladies
Fenwick: Cursed by hexes most ethereal
Cursed by poxes most venereal
Man1 and Woman 1: And not too keen to share those abnormalities

Man 2: Hectic fever or podagra
Woman 2: Variola or pellagra
Man 2: Scrofula, sciatica, or blight
Fenwick: It's for typhus and for warts
So why not buy a dozen quarts
All: Your sicknesses will vanish overnight with

All: Dr. Fenwicks Snake Oil
Man 3: It's the finest you can get
All: Dr. Fenwicks Snake Oil
Woman 3: Keep it cool, don't get it wet
Fenwick: Not too pasty, not too thin
Apply it liberally to skin
And repeat until desired ends are met

Fenwick: I knew a man named fancy Pat
Man1: My pride and joy had fallen flat
My wife was crying out for an annulment
Fenwick: And now she's crying out
Woman 1: Divorce!
He's out all night with stinkin whores
Women: Ever since he got his first installment of

All: Dr. Fenwicks Snake Oil
Fenwick: It's the Doctors guarantee
All: Dr. Fenwicks Snake Oil
Man 2: And we 're sure that you'll agree
Fenwick: It's good for pleurisy and thrush
So buy it now and beat the rush
All: And we'll throw in this embalming cream for free!

Fenwick: Youve tried the competition
But just look at your condition
You 're a sickly sallow pile of putrid pus
Man 3: Youve got rickets! Youve got tumors!
Woman 2: And invasion of the humors
All: Youd probably die tonight if not for us

Man 1: My daughters got the grippe
Woman 3: My fathers got the gout
Women: Youve got to get it now if youve got to get it out
Woman 3: Save the leeches, lose the ointments
Therapeutic disappointments
All: All the unguents, balms and lotions
All the powders, salves, and potions
Man 2: They 're just going through the motions
Put your money where it counts
Fenwick: Only pocket change per ounce

All: Dr. Fenwicks Snake Oil
Man 3: For distemper or gangrene
All: Dr. Fenwicks Snake Oil
Woman 1: And for softening of the spleen
Fenwick: There's no cure-all or elixir
That's a better fever fixer
All: It's so powerful it's practically obscene

Men: How much would you pay
How much would you pay
Women: 80 cents a bottle
Men: No!
Women: 60 cents a bottle
Men: No!
Women: 50 cents a bottle

Men: No! 40 cents a bottle or a dollar ten for three
Buy a dozen bottles and the thirteenth one is free
All: 40 cents a bottle or a dollar ten for three
Buy a dozen bottles and the thirteenth one is free
40 cents a bottle or a dollar ten for three
Buy a dozen bottles and the thirteenth one is free
40 cents a bottle or a dollar ten for three
Buy a dozen bottles and the thirteenth one is free

Fenwick: A scientific breakthrough from a name that you can trust
Don't waste my precious time, a larger order is a must
This offer ends tomorrow, these prices have been slashed
I want to hear some piggybanks get smashed!

All: Doctor Fenwicks Snake Oil!

Down the Wrong Pipe (Royalty Mix)

Download Song

From "Down the Wrong Pipe"

 

Yo ladies
Show 'em what you got
Make me proud

Okay!
Hey ho
You boys got nothing
No
We 're not afraid of your type
Put your money money
Your money where your mouth is
It goes
It goes down the wrong pipe
 
Hey ho
You boys got nothing
No
We 're not afraid of your type
Put your money money
Your money where your mouth is
It goes
It goes down the wrong pipe
 
My name is Ty
I'm the number one Hard Taco boy
A star to employ Jigmo Boy

Mike check
Rock and roll is not a toy, yo
Prince pince pince your face in stereo

From the center of the taco
To the center of your mind
One hundred dog in a row all going blind yo

I've got to relax
Check out this axe attack

Yeah
I'm back
Better than ever
How many heads did Hrothgar sever

People always stop me when I'm trying to flow
They say,
"Recognize you from the Hard Taco Show."

And it's a crime that Yan can cook so fine
I'm getting hungry thinking about that line
So now we come close to the end of the day
This ship takes off from the Daisy Runway

Onus of the high bred
Powder horn and spearhead
Embarking on the sacred hunt, yo

And everybody do the bridge troll
Everybody do the bridge troll!
