Inca Roads [Halloween 73- late show]
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you're aware that there have been a rash of flying saucer sightings recently. All the people think they've finally come down here. This may or may not be true, it is also possible that they have—may have already come down here a long time ago and that the people who lived on top of the Andes in those good old days, actually carved some notches on the top of the hill to accommodate these strange craft that they might land. These are known in the trade as the "Inca Roads," they're chiseled out at the top of those mountains in a place called the Plains of Nazca. Ladies and gentlemen, George Duke will now sing you the haunting ballad "Inca Roads." Take it away, George . .

Did a vehicle
Come from somewhere out there
Just to land in the Andes?
Was it round
And did it have
A motor
Or was it
Something
Different

Did a vehicle
Did a vehicle
Did a vehicle
Fly along the mountains
And find a place to park itself

Or did someone
Build a place
To leave a space
For such a thing to land

Thank you, honey!

Did a vehicle
(Look so cute tonight)
Come from somewhere out there
Did a vehicle come
From somewhere out there
Did the Indians, first on the bill
Carve up the hill

Come from somewhere out there
Just to land in the Andes?
Was it round
And did it have
A motor
Or was it
Something
