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? (Ted- oh Ted- Fighting off danger) Camping on the prairie Plays havoc with my hair Makes me feel quite dirty Don't we all do sometimes? (Ted gets so dirty) 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 (ptui!) (Hey drag away, quick wag away- whip!) Out on the horizon I see a puff of smoke Indians on the warpath (White man speaking with forked tongue, isn't it?) 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 And you can be my cowgirl 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
(Yippee yippee yay, yippee yippee yay yo-yo) (Yippee yippee yay, yippee yay yo-yo) (Yippee yippee yay, yippee yippee yay yo-yo) (Yippee yippee yay, yippee yo-yo-yo) (Oh, yippee, yippee yo-yo) My name is Ted And one day- I'll be dead yo-yo-yo
