Cowboy Buckaroo

I was raised on matinees on Saturday afternoons
Lookin' up at Hoppy, Gene and Roy, oh boy
And I grew up thinkin' the best a man can do
Is be a rootin', tootin', straight shootin' cowboy buckaroo

Spurs a-janglin', whoopee ti yi yay
Just a-wranglin' through every single day

Yodel-odel-odel-odel-odel-odel-ady
Yodel-odel-odel-odel-odel-odel-ady
Yodel-odel-odel-odel-odel-odel-ady, ooh

A man should be a rootin', tootin', straight shootin' cowboy buckaroo
A buckaroo's a cowboy who believes in what is good
A buckaroo wouldn't hurt you if he could (if he could)
I ain't afraid to say it 'cause I ain't afraid of you
I'm a rootin', tootin', straight shootin' cowboy buckaroo

Spurs a-janglin', whoopee ti yi yay
Just a-wranglin' through every single day

Yodel-odel-odel-odel-odel-odel-ady
Yodel-odel-odel-odel-odel-odel-ady
Yodel-odel-odel-odel-odel-odel-ady, ooh

I'm a rootin', tootin', straight shootin' cowboy buckaroo
Should we be the way we are or be how we could be?
Could illusion become reality?
I've got to ask the question 'cause the answer's overdue
Why can't we all ride together and be cowboy buckaroos?

Spurs a-janglin', whoopee ti yi yay
Just a-wranglin' through every single beautiful day

Yodel-odel-odel-odel-odel-odel-ady
Yodel-odel-odel-odel-odel-odel-ady
Yodel-odel-odel-odel-odel-odel-ady, ooh

Why can't we all ride together and be cowboy buckaroos?
