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.

Man, What a Terrible Scene

Download Song

Jim is an actor
He’s got a tractor
He’s got a tractor beam
It works like a dream a
Have you seen the Jim Beam?
Jack is jock and
He’s got a cocker
He’s got a cocker spaniel
Named Daniel
And man, you’ll scream
When you see Jim’s Beam
Tractoring up
Jack’s Daniel
The spaniel

Well the dog beamed up
In the tractor beam
And his legs went limp
And his eyes glowed green and
Man, what a terrible scene
What a terrible scene
Man, what a terrible, terrible scene

When John had sore heel
He bought a four-wheeled
He bought a four-wheeled walker
He stores in a locker
‘Til he feels his heels get sore once more

Max has a factory
Has a factor
He built Johnny’s walker
And locker
And the cocker spaniel was beamed up then
To the great big flying saucer

Well, the dog beamed up
In the tractor beam
And his legs went limp
And his eyes glowed green and
… Oh man, what a terrible scene
What a terrible scene
Man, what a terrible terrible scene

Doo-da-lee-doo-da-doot doo

Jim is an actor
He’s got a tractor
He’s got a tractor beam
He’s got a tractor beam
It works like a dream
Works like a dream
Have you seen
The Jim Beam

Well the dog beamed up
Dog beamed up
In the tractor beam
And his legs went limp
And his eyes glowed green and
Eyes glowed green
Man, what a terrible scene
Man what a terrible scene
Man, what a terrible harrowing parable
Terrible unbearable scene

May it Ever Increase

Download Song

I need just a couple minutes and
Thirty-six seconds
To pop in and help you understand
Paradise beckons

When your goal is make it through next
Two or three more weeks
When you’re pretty sure the leak is fixed
Then the fixture leaks

Ooooh, may it ev-
Ooooh, may it ever increase
Ooooh, may it ev-
Ooooh, may it ever increase

You’re catching on
You’re catching on fire
You’ve outperformed in terms of organic Me Traffic
You’re picking up
You’re picking up steam
You’re testing off the charts in the Me Demographic

No more dread of getting second-guessed
Getting catcalled at
No more hearing coffee is the best (No!)
When it’s not all that

No more penance to the Grammar Cop
You’re the ordained GOAT
Rise above it like a turboprop
You’re a parade float

Ooooh, may it ev-
Ooooh, may it ever increase
Ooooh, may it ev-
Ooooh, may it ever increase

You’re catching on
You’re catching on fire
You’ve outperformed in terms of organic Me Traffic
You’re picking up
You’re picking up steam
You’re testing off the charts in the Me Demographic

Ooooh, may it ev-
Ooooh, -er increase
Ooooh, may it ev-
Ooooh, -er increase

Doo doo doo duh doo doo doo
May it ev-
Doo doo doo duh doo doo doo
-Er increase
Doo doo doo duh doo doo doo
May it ev-
Doo doo doo duh doo doo doo

Septuagenarian

Download Song

So isn’t it apropos
That at the rate I’m letting go
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian
Feel the building back begin
Feel the affirmation creeping in
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian

Except that
My generation was born
Born to be free
Free to be bored and I want to be
Sporting a Baby Bjorn
Babies are there to be worn
But parents, beware and be warned
You’ve just been barely informed
Of this sucker’s economy
Daily you suckers are born
You suckers are born to lose
You losers are stuck in this musical comedy
Ha ha ha

Hey, and that’s the play within the play
And it feels so-so
And at the rate I’m letting go
It will feel so bizarrely wonderful and wonderfully bizarre

So isn’t it apropos
That at the rate I’m letting go
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian
Feel the building back begin
Feel the affirmation creeping in
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian

It’s all
Sketch comedy
Low
Sex
Prop comedy
Black
F bomb comedy
High
Dot com comedy
Rom comedy
70-something years to avail
All the 70 dumb things I do on the daily
Then suddenly me and my eons of being beyond the pale
Will just settle and suddenly
Ha ha ha

Hey, and that’s the play within the play
And it feels so-so
And at the rate I’m letting go
It will feel so bizarrely wonderful and wonderfully bizarre

So isn’t it apropos
That at the rate I’m letting go
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian
Feel the building back begin
Feel the affirmation creeping in
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian

Inverse Chinese Finger Trap

Download Song

It’s an inverse Chinese finger trap
‘Cause you’ll never get your fingers into that
No, you’ll never get your fingers into that
It’s an inverse Chinese finger trap
It’s an inverse Chinese finger trap
‘Cause you’ll never get your fingers into that
No, you’ll never get your fingers into that
It’s an inverse Chinese finger trap

There’s a wormhole
In the center of a cinnamon roll
In the cen- cen- center of a cinnamon roll
In the center of a cinnamon roll
And at escape velocity, crisscross the frosting
Tossed across from pole to pole
In the cen- cen- center of a cinnamon roll
In the center of a cinnamon roll

And all the oldsters stir the pot
And all jesters stir the pot
The pretty monsters stir the pot
Come on, I want to stir the pot

And we’ll spaghettify the
Hipsters, mobsters
Tricksters, lobsters
Co-stars, youngsters
Roosters, dumpsters
Shit-posters, Friar’s Club roasters
Shysters, gangsters, oysters and toasters
You think you got troubles, kid?
What The Devil said he’d do, The Devil did
You think you got troubles, kid?
What The Devil said he’d do, The Devil did

It’s an inverse Chinese finger trap
‘Cause you’ll never get your fingers into that
No, you’ll never get your fingers into that
It’s an inverse Chinese finger trap
It’s an inverse Chinese finger trap
‘Cause you’ll never get your fingers into that
No, you’ll never get your fingers into that
It’s an inverse Chinese finger trap Shhh…

So drive a plastic knife in
The hyphen between
Space and time
Where no life has been and no light can be seen
And we’re taking it to the bridge
To the Einstein-Rosen
Sticking our thingamajigs with the Higgs and Boson
Do-si-dozing through the frozen soup
With a tub of cookie dough and an ice cream scoop

And all the oldsters stir the pot (Stir the pot)
And all jesters stir the pot (Stir the pot)
The pretty monsters stir the pot
We’re not as big as we thought

There’s a wormhole
In the center of a cinnamon roll
In the cen- cen- center of a cinnamon roll
In the center of a cinnamon roll
And at escape velocity, crisscross the frosting
Tossed across from pole to pole to pole
In the cen- cen- center of a cinnamon roll
In the center of a cinnamon roll

It’s an inverse Chinese finger trap
‘Cause you’ll never get your fingers into that
No, you’ll never get your fingers into that
It’s an inverse Chinese finger trap
It’s an inverse Chinese finger trap
‘Cause you’ll never get your fingers into that
No, you’ll never get your fingers into that
It’s an inverse Chinese finger trap
