NOTE:  These are generally the lyrics, though they don't necessarily
 have to appear in this order... or at all.  It is not uncommon to
 substitute other lyrics, save for the last line, but these are the
 ones that have been in most versions. 
 "The Donkey and the Taco" has
 no official author/composer but is instead attributed to a group of
 San Diego domestics who would, as they rode in the trucks that brought
 them to work, sing.  Sometimes they pretended to be "bandidos" and
 made threatening gestures out of the back of the truck to pedestrians,
 but that's another story.  The unofficial anthem of Mexico is called
 "Dust for Sale."  It doesn't have any lyrics but is hummed - and usually
 by people who are trying to act inconspicuous.
