A dedication to Chopy -his favorite songs
The gigolo:
To be sung to I am just a gigolo.
I am just a gigolo
everywhere I go
I am a Happy HO HO down in Old Cabo
I am the local star
I work the town's Bar
My Lines are the Best
My aprons are well pressed
I give the girls the eyes
Then tell them all my lies
I whisper in their ears
the words they like to hear
Then I shift the gears
I am just a Happy HO HO
everywhere I go
Just a gigolo
down in Old Cabo
Can you spare a little Cash
We will have a Party Bash
Snort a little Blow
I'll give you a good throw
I will pay you back tommorrow
Oh! how I love to borrow
I am just a gigolo
A Happy Ho HO
everywhere I go
down in Old Cabo
When you go away
I will write you everyday
I promise I won't get laid
Just make sure I keep getting Paid
I tell you the words you need to hear
"How much I miss you my dear
Wish you were here
You are my one and only
Without you I am so lonely"

TheCabo Cinderella:
sung to the tune "love was in the Air"
Love was in the Air and oh I had so Much Flair
Turning thirty-five I was glad I was alive
Feeling seventeen I was caught up in A dream
Those handsome Mexican guys all giving me the eyes
Love was in the Air I could Smell it eveywhere
In Cabo I had arrived
Oh I was glad I was alive
Yes I was turning twenty-seven
and fallen into Tweetie Twat Heaven
Love was everywhere I could smell it the air
I Met my Romeo in a bar Called Octopussy Row
He came sliding on over giving me the eyes
I ordered I sloe Gin
He gave a great big Grin
Then he served me a Mickey Finn
and later did me in
We humped and bumped all night long Aye Yi Yi YI Yi
That guy could really turn me on
Aye Yi YI YI YI
I had stars in my eyes
I was glad to be alive
Oh what a fool was I
He whispered in my ears
all the words I love to hear
"Without me he was lonely
I was his one and only"
We were going to live in Cabo happily ever after
making music,love and laughter"
aye Yi Yi YI Yi
Love was in the Air I could smell it everywhere
Then came the day I Had to go away
He promised he would be faithful
and silly me I was so grateful
I worked so hard each day
I put my pennies away
Then I sent him all my money
He was building a home me
oh my darlin Honey
Everyday I got a new Email
I was living in a fairytale
"How I miss you my dear
How I wish You were here
I am waiting faithfully
When you get here you will See
It is only you and Me"
Love was in the Air I could smell it everywhere
It was just a little over a year
I packed up all my gear
put it it all in one big suitcase
back to Cabo I did race
I hadn't given up the chase
Love was in the Air I could smell it everywhere
I was going to live the Cabo
happily ever after
of making music, love and laughter
When I arrived
I found my Romeo living in A Dive
He had spent all of my money
on his four kids and a wife he called Honey
Love was no where
not even in The Air oh no no no no
I got the Big Blowover
He was in Love with Daisy Clover
He met her the other night
at Octopussy Row
she had a wallet full of dough
he said sorry "I have to go"
He was just a gigolo
Now I am a Cabo Cinderella
Passed over by all the fellas
They used to send me Roses
Now they Hold Their Noses
They no longer want to Chinga
With a smelly Little Gringa
I sit in a Bar called Nowhere
pulling out my hair
drowning my despair
sifting thru love's ashes
scratching my hives and rashes
You should see me now
I have put on 80 pounds
I have done all the rounds
been laid by every guy in town
Once Love was in the air
I could smell it everywhere aye yi yi yi yi
Now love has gone away oh no no no no
it may return another day
Maybe love will come back tommorrow
When I have some money he can borrow
Once Love was in the Air
I could smell it everywhere
I had stars in my eyes
oh what a fool was I ay yi yi yi

To be sung to "dancing in the rain"
They call me Doodly Squat
Cuz I always have the trots
Flim Flam is my game
Bullchit is my middlename
I fly around Cabo Town
in a spiffy white car
The top is always down
I think I am a star
I believe I will go far
I am very easy to reach
My office is Medano Beach
I like to put on the airs
The wind blowing thru my blond hair
I live a life of no cares
Jus try to get you into Timeshare
Don't Call my name out loud
I am no down here as a fraud
I give out business advice
Back home I am being sought by the vice
Someone of whom you should be careful
I will try and hawk you a land deal special
I hang out with the Humdingers
A gang of Gringo Dingers
They call us the Cabo Lice
we have paid off the local vice
We are on a permanent vacation
Flim Flam is our occupation
Anyone with common sense
wouldn't lend us two cents
Come on down I'll show you around
We spin the town in my car with the top down
Its on a yearly lease from a company I have fleeced
Oh a tourist with cash I am happy to greet
I have so many deals and people for you to meet
They call me Doodly Squat
I always got the trots

The Cabo Dumpties:
to be sung to "if I only had a Brain"
To be sung to "If I only Had a Brain"
We are the Cabo Dumptys .. The boys no longer wanna Humpty .. we are in Paradise Lost and oh at what a cost ... we are the hand me downs... we've been
passed all around ..when the machos see us coming they all start a runnin ..they say they've had enough they call us smelly stuff
Once we were the Belle of Balls Desired by them all.. but unlike Cinderella who knew when to leave .... we didn't want to go ... we stayed on in old
Cabo.....we wanted to catch a man
WE got ourselves an occupation ... hanging out on the dusty streets ... the tourists we beg and entreat to attend a Timeshare Presentation
WE were told that to be a Timeshare OPC is every gringa's Dream .... little did we know how things down here work ... like silly Do Do's were we to be
be taken in by the Jerks..
Like Birds of a Feather us Dumptys flock together
you can find us at any ladies night where they servin up free beer.. maybe another day you can buy us a round of cheer... we have to sit outside as
ladies we no longer qualify... We wanna Catch a man
We sit around with our noses in the air
pretending we don't care acting like we have flair
when we are churning up inside we have been put aside
Every day we face more rejection
and deep down we live in fear and dejection
It is a hard life down here
and in a short time us dears
all look older than our years
We patrol in the bars each night doing what we call drivebys .. But those Machos blow us over and go chase the Daisy Clovers.. They have wallets full
of dough you should see those jigalos go
We get so darn jealous when we get passed over by all the fellas we end up in a big fight .. us dumptys are not very bright ... The bouncers pick us
off the floor then toss us out the barroom door... Bye Bye Cabo Dumptys the boys no longer wanna to Humpty..... we wanna Catch a man
We have done all the rounds.. we are the hand me downs.. packing on the pounds.. we've been passed around...it is time we gotta out of town
We are the Cabo Dumptys the boys no longer wanna Humpty.. when the Macho see us comin they all start a runnin ..they say we smelly stuff and that
they've had enough......We wanna Catch a Man but look how fast they ran....

OK girl detective
I'll bite.
I remember Chopy's posts and I liked him as a person in the way you get to know people on the internet.
I had not seen this old post about his favorite songs about the underlife of Cabo before.
This is not great poetry, but the message sounds like honest social commentary.
I can't validate anything, all I can say is that it is interesting reading.
Besides putting up this cryptic reference to his favorite songs, why don't you explain the person and his life to the 99.8% of the people who read
this board who have no idea about what you are referencing?

If I remember correctly, this is from the old Amigo's board and should be forgotten.
Enough said, and left alone.

I'm curious
Is it correct for me to summarize that you want to minimize and dismiss the life of a man who was gruesomely murdered and where there is no resolution
to the case?
Just asking.

I never heard there was any such details... The official word was he was 'found dead'... Has there been more discoveries?
Chopy/ ESL (El Surfo Loco)/ Cornel had really made major changes from his original Amigos posts and became quite helpful and likable to many.
We had the pleasure of meeting him at M's BBBB#4... His death was just months later... and yes, he was in constant battle with the Castro family who
had squatted on his property at Cabo Pulmo and the government officials. Cornel was a Mexican citizen, fyi.

Gypsy Jan; It is not correct for you to Assume that My Friend "Chopy" was murdered!!!
If you have any FACTS take them to the Local Federales in La Paz!
Let this Good Man "Rest in Peace".
Remember about "Assume" It makes an Ass /u/me!!
