Awaz by Stephen Scholle

Awaz was a man
Came from Pakistan
He rode the Glenville train

Was way out west
Why was he out west
Just wanted to get outa the rain

Chorus
Awaz was a man
He came from Pakistan
Didn't know how he landed here

But he was resourceful
His cooking was so sauce-ful
That he joined a chuck wagon on the plains

mmm-m-m-mmm break

Verse
His spicy vindaloo
Became a favorite chew
of teamster and cow hand

And his way with tender stews
His lamb got rave reviews
From Cheyenne down to the Rio Grande

Chorus
Yes Awaz was a man
Who made himself a plan
His competitors were far and few

And when gold hit the pan
He traveled to San Fran
Showed off his spicy vindaloo

mmm-m-m-mmm break

Verse
Then he brought his wife and aunt
Opened a restaurant
It soon became a chain

And all through the West
He was known the best
For his spicy lamb and chicken vindaloo
Yes sir,
For his lamb and aromatic chicken stew
In the main
For his spicy lamb and chicken vindaloooo

Wah Hoooo!
