Lyrics It's a Quiet Town - The Andrews Sisters , Danny Kaye

Shh, shh.
I wouldn′t play that loud if I was you, boys.
That's more like it.
Now, as sheriff of this county I′m gonna have to insist n a little peace and quiet around here. Do ya understand?
Quiet!
It's a quiet town, here in Crossbone County
It's as quiet here as a buryin′ ground
You can settle down here in Crossbone County
Anyone will build you a permanent mound
They measure you for size here, coffin
Everybody dies here often
If you plan to get much older,
Keep one eye behind your shoulder
Quiet! This is a quiet town.
Now, boys, I don′t mind you cattle rustlin'
I don′t mind you stealin' chickens
BUT WE GOTTA HAVE A LITTLE PEACE AND QUIET AROUND HERE!
But we gotta have a little peace and quit around her
It′s a quiet town (shhhh)
Pardon me, I lost my head.
It's a quiet town, here in Crossbone County
Where you only hear an occasional noise
Everyone is prayin′ so expect some horseplay
They may shoot you dead, but they're wonderful boys.
Saloon is where they linger (steady)
With a trigger finger (ready)
Firewater risky, rattlesnake with every whiskey
Quiet! This is a quiet town.
Hand me my instrument, will ya, boys?
Ready, here we go. An' a one an′ a two an′ (mouth harp)
It's a quiet town nestled in the canyon
Everybody here is at peace with the world
And the few who ain′t rest assured they'll soon be
Just a careless move gets your cranium curled
He′s headed for the border (yodeling)
We'll keep law and order (yodeling)
Once we had some vigilantes, they got too big for their panties
Quiet! This is a quiet town.
This is a quiet town. (boom)
This is a quiet town. (boom)
This is a quiet town. (boom)
This is a quiet town. (boom)
This is a quiet town. (boom) Heh, ya missed me!
(Boom) Got me!
