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.

Baby's got her name
On the big rock down on Washtenaw
She's gone too far
She's gone too far
Baby's got her name
On the big rock down on Washtenaw
She's gone too far
She's gone too far

And presidents and favorite teams
Run hot and cold like prayers and dreams
Presidents and favorite teams
Run hot and cold like prayers and dreams
Presidents and favorite teams
Run hot and cold and hot and cold so
Come on, way oh, nana nana
Come on, way oh, nana nana

Dang!
Think I'm gonna start a fight
Think I'm gonna start a fight
Dang!
Think I'm gonna start a fight
Think I'm gonna start a fight

Babys got her face
On the brick wall down on Liberty
She's in too deep
She's in too deep
Babys got her face
On the brick wall down on Liberty
She's in too deep
She's in too deep

And presidents and favorite teams
Run hot and cold like prayers and dreams
Presidents and favorite teams
Run hot and cold like prayers and dreams
Presidents and favorite teams
Run hot and cold and hot and cold so
Come on, way oh, nana nana
Come on, way oh, nana nana

Dang! Think I'm gonna start a fight
Think I'm gonna start a fight
Dang!
Think I'm gonna start a fight
Think I'm gonna start a fight
Dang!
Think I'm gonna start a fight
Think I'm gonna start a fight
Dang!
Think I'm gonna start a fight
Think I'm gonna start a fight

Can We Please Just Hang Out Now

Download Song

It's great to see you smile
I haven't see that
Haven't seen you for a while

Great to have you back
Do you want to hang out now,
Or wait 'til you unpack

Can we please just hang out now

What was Maui like
We saw volcanic rock
And had an awesome hike

How's the weather there
It rained a lot
But we had too much fun to care

Can we please just hang out now

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Can we please just hang out now

Billowing Parachute Silk

Download Song

One could just laugh, one could try to
Choreograph one two step hop
My claim to fame
Wait, I don't have one
Half of the hearts here could stop

I got a handshake, it's gold-plated
Billowing parachute silk
Reality checks are post-dated
Billowing parachute silk

Na na, nie ya ya nah yie di dee die na na
Nie ya ya nah yie di dee die na na
Nie ya ya nah yie di dee die na na
Nie ya ya nah yie di dee die na na

London sounds British but it is
Probably Yiddish so
God save the Queen and save our Kiddush
Spare the rod, London broil the child

Patience or violent upheavals
Billowing parachute silk
Which is the less of two evils
Billowing parachute silk

Na na, nie ya ya nah yie di dee die na na
Nie ya ya nah yie di dee die na na
Nie ya ya nah yie di dee die na na
Nie ya ya nah yie di dee die na na

Mau mau (mau mau)
Mau mau chicka (mau mau chicka)
Mau mau chicka
Chickonamana sicka
Sickada homina nomina
Tic tac a mau mau

Grandma Fran had a notorious meltdown
Shaking pots and yelling
Cops! Cops! Cops!
With her rollers in
Hurling cats and yelling
Cops! Cops! Cops!
To herself

So she crawled behind the window and knelt down
Just to find that there were
Cops! Cops! Cops!
In her garbage bin
On the china hutch and
Cops! Cops! Cops!
On the shelf

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Filling their quotas
Filling their blotters
Revving the motors
Of their Toyotas
From the Dakotas
To the Nevadas

Cops!

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Filling their quotas
Filling their blotters
Revving the motors
Of their Toyotas
From the Dakotas
To the Nevadas

Cops! Cops! Cops! Cops!

Mau mau (mau mau)
Mau mau chicka (Cops!)

Poison vapor trails and aerial cables
Fluoridation and the
Cops! Cops! Cops!
Are all in cahoots
Holding hands because the
Cops! Cops! Cops!
Are in love

But if you scan the actuarial tables
There are patterns and the
Cops! Cops! Cops!
In their hazmat suits
Ping their ladyfriends at
Cops! Cops! Cops!
.gov

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
