Clyde Edgerton, a novelist, put out an album to accompany his book Walking Across Egypt. The song, “Quiche Woman in a Barbeque Town” can be heard here and the lyrics of the chorus are printed below.

She’s a quiche woman in a barbeque town
There’s trucks and ticks and tobacco all around
She was Vassar cum laude several years ago
The adjustment will be slow.

Thanks to Virginia A. Smith ’92 for the tip.
