DUDES AND GUNSELS SURROUND ME

(Subversion of "Tumblin' Tumbleweeds)

(with thanks to Bob Nolan)

I'm a modern cowboy

Wishing all day long

Dudes and gunsels surround me

Sing their phoney song

Nights in a honky tonk saloon

Wish they'd go back to Karaoke soon

Chorus:

See them riding along

Singing a Garth Brooks song

Going where they don't belong

Past saguaro, pinion and mountain streams

Jobs for the weak, I'm afraid

Nowhere to go but the grave

Just what Satan has bade

Past the pricklies, pine nuts and hills and creeks

I know when they are done

A new thrill they'll find with a gun

I'll keep out of their way

Try to live another day

Out on the range I should stay

Past saguaro, pinion and mountain streams

Chorus:

See them riding along

Singing a Garth Brooks song

Going where they don't belong

Past saguaro, pinion and mountain streams

Jobs for the weak, I'm afraid

Nowhere to go but the grave

Just what Satan has bade

Past the pricklies, pine nuts and hills and creeks

I know when they are done

A new thrill they'll find with a gun

I'll keep out of their way

Try to live another day

Out on the range I should stay

Past saguaro, pinion and mountain streams

Past saguaro, pinion and mountain streams

DON KING - WILD HAIR
(Wild Thing /Troggs Parody)


Don King, you make my head sting
You make everything greasy, Don King
Don King, I think you're crazy
But I don't know for sure
Come on now, be alright
Stand up straight
Wild hair, you may never care
You make every hair greasy
Wild hair

Wild hair, I think you smooth it
But I don't know for sure
Come on now, do it right
Stand up tall
Don King, you make the hair spike
You make every hair jello'd, Wild Hair
C'mon, c'mon Don King
Check it, check it, Don King
