George Potor plays electric guitar and sings on this song about a vintage recipe. Here are the lyrics:
Fiesta Peach Spam Bake

Fiesta Pea-cha-cha, Pea-cha-cha Spam Bake
Fiesta Pea-cha-cha, Pea-cha-cha Spam Bake

Sunny California sends its golden-ripe cling peaches to bake 
with savory pure-pork SPAM, for a memorable main dish. 
You can fix it in minutes, from can-opener to oven
…it’s economical, too!

Fiesta Pea-cha-cha, Pea-cha-cha Spam Bake

Drain…Number two and a half can of cling peach slices from California, 
Reserving syrup.
Slice…whole SPAM almost, but not quite through, 
Into five sections. 
Place…in shallow baking dish. 
Insert…peaches between SPAM slices. 
Arrange…remaining peaches around SPAM.
Pour over… Pour over one quarter cup peach syrup, 
blended with two tablespoons brown sugar. 
Stud…Stud…Stud Stud Stud Stud with cloves.
Bake…at three hundred seventy-five degrees about thirty-five minutes.

Like ham? Like ham? Then you’ll like SPAM! 
Hits the spot… Hits the spot because there’s HAM in SPAM!

Fiesta Pea-cha-cha, Pea-cha-cha Pea-cha-cha Spam Bake
Fiesta Pea-cha-cha, Pea-cha-cha Spam Bake
