Tacoland by The Dead Milkmen

There's a place
In San Antone
Where I can go
And not feel alone!

Tacoland
It's a panacea

Tacoland
They're always glad to see ya

You'll understand
When you go
On
Down to Tacoland

When I feel
My world is lost
I go to Tacoland
And I get really tossed!

I wish my band would always pla-a-ay

Tacoland, I want to sta-a-ay

You'll understand
When you go
On
Down to Tacoland

There's a girl with dirty hair
She's got her dress up in the air

She tells a lot of jokes
Hell, she's got a lot to share

Tacoland

We ate a lot of figs
They passed around a bottle
And we took a lot of swigs

It's nature's plan
To go
On
Down to Tacoland

Tacoland

Just three quarters of a mile past the Rockwood exit in beautiful downtown
San Antonio, Texas

Taco Land owner fatally shot

The owner of Taco Land, a landmark San Antonio night club once immortalized
in song, was fatally shot at the bar around 1:21 this morning in an incident
that sent two other people to the hospital in critical condition, police
said.

Ramiro Albert Ayala, 72, was pronounced dead at 2:25 a.m., according to the
Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office. Ayala is listed as the bar's owner,
the medical examiner said.

Details of the shooting were sketchy, but San Antonio Police Department Sgt.
Matt Podwika said two men were inside the bar when words were exchanged and
at least one of the men opened fire.

"We don't know exactly what was said between ( the victims) and the
suspects," he said.

Ayala was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center with a wound to the left side
of the chest. A 40-year-old woman who was shot in her abdomen, and a
54-year-old man shot in the side, were taken to University Hospital,
according to Podwika.

It appears the two suspects fled in an unknown vehicle with the money in the
bar's cash register, the sergeant said.

A Dec. 12, 2000, article in the San Antonio Express-News said Ayala opened
his business, at 103 W. Grayson, in 1965, selling food to workers from the
soda bottling plants that once operated in the area. He turned the business
into a bar in 1969
