This is a joke for my co-workers. I wrote this song in the style of a Mexican ballad.

Story behind the song
This song is about a few of my co-workers at Alard Machine Products. La aguila negra(the black eagle) is a grinder. Chermo(Mexican slang for toothless) was his dentally challenged helper. El Pato enojado(the angry duck) is the supervisor of the shop,he was called this becaise he would walk around the shop pissed off saying 'fuck!fuck!fuck!'. Mono(monkey)replaced Chermo after he was fired. La aguila negra would come into the shop every morning and ask 'where's my penche Chermo?'. There was just too much comedy here for me not to write a song about it. Everyone was good natured about the whole thing and seemed to get a kick out of it. It was also a great exercise in trying to figure out how to sing harmony parts.
Lyrics
They call me La Aguila Negra. Grinding is my trade.
From Irvine to Tijuana, I have been so well paid.
But I never ran a Tshudin(japanese grinder),
and I did not want to learn.
When El Pato Enojado said 'set this thing up!' I prayed for Chermos' return.
(chorus)
Donde esta mi Chermo? Where can he be?
Donde esta mi Chermo? Bring back my Chermo to me.
Everyone calls him Chermo. He does not seem to mind.
A happy go lucky muchacho. I've never seen him unkind.
He was the Tshudin master, but he did not want to teach.
Untill I paid him $20. and I thought 'you son of a beech'.
(chorus)
Now I've got mi Mono. He is my pride and joy.
He's helping me to forget Chermo who is now unemployed.
We're going to see the Dodgers and we don't care what people say.
just because we hang together does not mean that we are gay.
(chorus)
