Farewell to our leader
Dr. Bill Calvert did an excellent job of leading
us around the Mexican countryside.
We enjoyed his leadership so much that we wrote
this song:
When you go looking for
monarchs in Mexican mountains with Dr. Bill
Calvert
Put on your hiking
boots,
Sunscreen your
nose
Have 2 pesos for "los
banos."
Ay, ay, ay,
ay!
There goes a golden-browed
warbler,
A tufted flycatcher, a canyon wren
sings
Bill's missing a green
kingfisher.
When you go looking for
monarchs in Mexican mountains with Dr. Bill
Calvert
Carry
binoculars
All of the
time
Even when you go into "los
banos."
Ay, ay, ay,
ay!
We have a
situation!
The bus is not
working
The incline is
slight
"Taxistas" are angry and
shouting.
When you go looking for
monarchs in Mexican mountains with Dr. Bill
Calvert
Check out the monarchs up high in
their roosts
in the oyamel
firs
in the
forest.
Ay, ay, ay,
ay!
We have a
situation
Our lunches are
lost
And the horses are
late
But the monarchs are bright above
us!
When you go looking for monarchs in
Mexican mountains with Dr. Bill Calvert
Your
trip will be something
You'll never forget
And you'll dream forever of
monarchs!
(Sung to the tune of "Cielito
Lindo.")
