Way out west where men
are men and women are very sweet,
That's where I'm gonna be. Way out west just once again where happiness is complete, There's just one thing I miss... And it is this: OH! gimme a horse, a great big horse, and gimme a buckaroo And let me Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! OH! gimme a ranch, a big pair of pants, and gimme a stetson too, And let me Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! Give me the wide o-pen spaces... For I'm just like a prairie flower, Growing wilder by the hour. OH! gimme a moon, a prairie moon, and gimme a gal what's true, And let me Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! OH! I never could sing a high class thing, good music I never knew, But I can Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! OH! I never could dance, 'cause when I dance I ruin the lady's shoe, But I can Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! It's just a gift from the prairie... You shout it when a bad man jigs, And it's very good for calling pigs. I never could speak a word of Greek, I never could poop-poop-a-do, But I can Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! OH! you open your mouth two feet wide, and take a big breath or two, And then you Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! OH! you wiggle your toes and grit your teeth Like Dangerous Dan McGrew And then you Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! Be careful not to sing soprano; And never Hi-de-hi-de-ho, 'Cause that don't go out in Idaho. OH! buckle your belt and fix your hat, And spit her out (noise) ka-chew! And then you Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! Oh, what did Miss Cleopatra say to Antony when they met? She hollered Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! Oh, what did that roaming Romeo yell to Miss Juliet? He hollered Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! It started way back in Eden And Eve was the cause, and it's no fib, She wahooed Adam for a rib. Oh, what did Miss Pocahontas yell the minute she saw John Smith? She hollered Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! Oh, gimme the plains, the western plains, and a bottle of apple jack And let me Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! Oh gimme a saloon, an old spittoon, and a package of chaw tobacc And let me Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! Give me a gal from dear old Dallas, And play a Texas Tommy dance And I'll cut loose with a wild romance; Oh, gimme a gat, a cowboy hat, a handkerchief red and blue, And let me Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! Oh, gimme the plains, a pair of reins, and my boots and saddle too, And let me Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! Oh, lemme get at...a lariat, as a steer comes into view, And let me Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! Give me the wide open spaces, Each time I see a sawdust bar, I wanna be away out thar... Oh, show me the pal who'll steal my gal, and hand me my .32 And let me Wah-Hoo! Wah-Hoo! WAH-HOO! |
