    "THE HOUSE SONG / South of the Border, down Lorenz's way / There is a garden where they dance and play / All happy and ready to call it a day / South of the Border, down Lorenz's way. / / Once you have been there you'll go there a again / And you'll repeat it over and over again / For there is something which makes us all friends / South of the Border at Café LORENZ. / / When you go there to dance or for dinner / 'Neath the stars that look down from the skies / You decide that you're now on a winner / So you tell her those little white lies. / / South of the Border, down Lorenz's way / You'll find a garden where you cannot say nay / For the star's up above you all twinkle and say, / "We're South of the Border, lets call it a day."" (text, poem)

    "With this terrible war of attrition / One must think of the money one spends / But you need never fear your "addition" / When you dine or you dance at LORENZ" (text, promotional)
