Seventh in the ‘Ed’ Series,
‘When We Ancient Eds Were-’
My Ed Photo Albums Go Back a Long Ways,
And a Fond Memory or Two, They Always Stir
We were now south of the border, down old Mexico way,
That's where Brother Edvard took the three of us one day;
As I look at this billboard, my thoughts have again strayed,
To way down south of that border, down old Mexico way
It wasn’t long after good old Gene Autry had let us Eds go
We had been ridin those cold, old, freight trains once more
We three Brothers Ed woke up in a boxcar in Mexico City
And soon, found ourselves behind a restaurant’s back door
Old Brother Edvard was a real fast talker in Spanish
Before we knew it, he had gotten us a brand new gig
Somehow, he had very quickly convinced the owner
That in the United States, we three Eduardos were Big
So the delighted restaurant owner had hired us immediately
And he had this painting plastered on signposts, all over town
Los Tres Antiguos Eduardos would be serving meals, while singing
And the old restaurant owner promised the best entertainment around
Well, of course, good old Jersey Ed and I could speak so very little Spanish
Let alone sing any candlelit dinner, extremely romantic, old Spanish melodies
And alas, when Brother Jersey tripped coming down the stairs, delivering a meal
On our very first night, the owner yelled, “You’re Fired! Now Adios, You Eddies!”
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Good bye, Good bye, Good bye
We were now south of the border, down old Mexico way,
That's where Brother Edvard took the three of us one day;
As I look at this billboard, my thoughts have again strayed,
To way down south of that border, down old Mexico way
And A Very Happy Cinco de Mayo, To One and All

I must have been the least bit high that night,
As yes I did trip down the steps cause somebody,
Did across the steps tie a string...(P-wee loved practical jokes)
