THE PRINCESS OF
MUSHROOMS
The Princess of Mushrooms is smiling at me,
And I wonder what she's going to say.
She has me longing for her company.
Oh, I hope she will take me away,
(la Princesse de los hongos de Palenque).
With her olivine eyes and the ring in her nose,
And her ribbon-wrapped hair and her wild gypsy clothes,
And her beauty like madness, all makes me suppose
That the Princess of Mushrooms can see
That she's welcome to trip out with me.
The Princess of Mushrooms is whom I wait for
And I wonder what she's going to do.
There are so many wishes I need magic for,
Oh, I hope she will make them come true,
If she will do
What the Princess of Mushrooms can do
And she gives me a mushroom to chew...
Ah-ha, now we have come to it all
Essences mixing in time
To the tune of the waterfall
With the ruins of Palenque above
Vibrations all ringing in rhyme
To the rhthm of Cosmic Love...
or is it all in my mind?
and is all this a dream?
are things what they seem?
The Princess of Mushrooms has kissed me goodbye,
She told me that she could not stay.
But I will remember, and yes, I can try
To thank her with this music I play.

That I'm happy she tripped out with me.
