Song for Abel
(to the tune of "This Land is Your Land.")
He's our man, Abel,
He made our feet swell,
From Torres Paine
To Calafate.
The pizza's great there.
He made us all share.
Abel was there for you and me.

As I was walking
Through Torres Paine
I saw above me
My partner's "heinie"
I saw below me
Our trusty swee-ee-per
Abel was there for you and me.


In the Refugio
The dorms were so...so...
The guys snored loudly
Not Abelardo!
There was some whining
About the dining
Abel was there for you and me.

He's our man Abel;
Our fearless leader,
To Chalten's Glaciers;
Ten kilometer
Our feet said "Hel--lo!"
To "Domo Blanco."
Abel was there for you and me.

Up to Mount Fitzroy,
We all said, "Oh Boy!"
We walked through forest
Like a brontosaurus.
We made our foray
To Cerro Torre.
Abel was there for you and me.


We hiked through big trees.
We hurt our poor knees.
We climbed on boulders.
We bumped our shoulders.
We were not a--fraid--
Abel had First Aide!
Abel was there for you and me.

On a plane we flew to
THE END OF THE WORLD
Ushuaia met us
With wind and rain
Chowed down on BBQ, Not once but twice.
Abel was there for you and me.

He's our man Abel;
He did our thinking.
If we were thirsty
We had wine for drinking.
Our feet are tired,
But we're inspired -
Abel was there for you and me!
