A scene from Barney's ad

Barney

(walking up to a cardboard cutout of Homer in his Mr. Plow attire) Well, well, if it isn't Mr. Plow.

(Barney starts to repeatedly beat the cutout with a baseball bat.)

Linda Ronstadt:

Hey, Plow King, save some for me.

Barney:

Wow, Linda Ronstadt!

(Barney and Ronstadt beat up the fake Mr. Plow together.)

(Meanwhile, at Moe's Tavern, everyone's watching the ad on TV:)

Moe:

Linda Ronstadt? How'd you get her?

Barney:

Aw, we've been looking for a project to do together for a while.

(The ad continues:)

Linda Ronstadt:

When the snow starts a-fallin',

There's a man you should be callin':

That's KL5-4796.

Let it ring!

Mr. Plow is a loser

And I think he is a boozer.

Barney & Linda Ronstadt:

So you better make that call to the Plow King!

(Barney belches)

Incomplete Spanish version

Linda Ronstadt told Barney that she was working on a Spanish-language version of the Plow King jingle, and she sang a couple of lines for him:

Señor Plow no es macho

Es solamente un borracho

It translates as follows:

Mr. Plow isn't macho;

He's just a drunk.

They correspond to the English lyrics "Mr. Plow is a loser and I think he is a boozer."

Ronstadt didn't get to sing any of the rest of the Spanish lyrics, as Barney interrupted her to rush off to a plow job on Widow's Peak (which turned out to be a crank call placed by Homer).
