Tom Lehrer: In Old Mexico (concert live) (1959)

*ALTERNATE LYRICS (6:04):
For though try, as I may, I can never repay all that I owe
To the land of mañana and cheap marijuana.
(It's so easy to grow.)
In Old Mexico. Olé!

The first part of the video (my signature slide) is overlaid by the final bars of "Noble patria, tu hermosa bandera", which I played on my keyboard.

The main part of the song is one of Tom Lehrer's live performed songs, "In Old Mexico". It is part of Tom's first published live performance album, "An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer". But I obtained the actual music from the box set, "The Remains of Tom Lehrer", which was released in 2000. Enjoy.

And the last part is the main theme of "The Phantom of the Opera", by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Simply the 'cherry on top', and my personal song.

Here's the description Tom Lehrer himself made about the song: "'In Old Mexico' is a paean to our good neighbor."

Sorry I gave so much information about the music earlier. I don't want to get screwed by stupid WMG again. They are a bunch of arse-holes. And to make sure I am not screwed, have them read the following credits:
