I blot the sun out with my thumb,
don't want to burn my eyes;
it's hot enough to fry an egg,
someday, by god, I'll try.
I'll place it on my car's hood,
in the middle of July,
in desert heat outside of town,
I will let it fry.
I'll take a magnifying glass,
in the case that it need be;
and my widest brimmed hat,
so the sun will not scorch me.
I'll take along some pinto beans,
huevos rancheros of a sort;
on corn tortillas with red sauce,
if it's good, I'll take snort.
A Mexican fiesta dish,
with jalapenos too;
then I will burn my mouth,
before my meal is through.

with jalapenos too;
then I will burn my mouth,
before my meal is through.
