Mexican Uke-Song: "CLOTHING MOTH HAT-DANCE", in the Style of Allan Sherman

Allan Sherman
1924-1973

PARODY-LYRICS with Ukulele Chords

MUSICAL UNDERPINNINGS: "Mexican Hat Dance" (spoof) Allan Sherman, 1963. The original music, based on traditional Mexican dance-forms from the central and southern part of the country, is also known as "Jarabe Tapatío"; the music, unaccompanied by lyrics, is a typical repertoire item for mariachi.  

LIMERICK VERSE:  Two original poems composed by Giorgio Coniglio, 2017-2018, provided the fodder for these song lyrics.  They can be found  readily on our blog "Daily Illustrated Nonsense"
