Yippee Ki Yay . . .

 

Seeing that Bob Dylan just won the Nobel Prize in Literature for his lyrics, I thought it would be appropriate to nominate some of the great song lyrics from the band Boys Don't Cry magnum opus: "I wanna be a Cowboy."

 

Riding on the range,
I've got my hat - on,
I've got my boots - dusty.

 

I've got my saddle
On my horse.
He's called.... T-t-t-t-t-trigger
Of course.

 

I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl

I wanna be a cowboy

 

Riding on the chuck wagon,
Following my man.
His name is Ted,
Can you believe that?
Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair.
Makes me feel quite dirty,
Though we all do sometimes

 

I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

 

Looking like a hero,
Six-gun at my side,
Chewing my tobacco.
Out on the horizon,
I see a puff of smoke.
Indians on the warpath

Or not.
 

I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

 

My name is Ted,
And one day I'll be dead yo yo
