Prairie Home Companion movie - Whoop-I-Ti-Yi-Yo lyrics

rate me

<br>

Spoken:<br>

Well, what ya reckon we sing a song, Dusty<br>

Well, let's do it, Lefty<br>

One, two, you know what to do <br>

<br>

Well, I'm just an old cowboy with twigs in my hair<br>

Two-thirds alligator and three-quarters bear<br>

And one half a lion but let it be known<br>

I never told one lie that was not my own <br>

<br>

Whoop-i-ti-yi-yo, git along little doggy <br>

<br>

I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry<br>

Don't boss me or cross me or I'll spit in your eye<br>

I think what I please and I say what I mean<br>

And I think all you women are the finest I've seen <br>

<br>

Whoop-i-ti-yi-yo, git along little doggy <br>

<br>

I love the prairie, say what you will<br>

It's flat and it's dusty but I love it still<br>

It's emtpy and lonely and tedious too<br>

So maybe I'm crazy but what can I do <br>

<br>

Whoop-i-ti-yi-yo, git along little doggy <br>

<br>

Here comes the solo <br>

<br>

Yeah, real good <br>

<br>

I guess you can tell by the way we are dressed<br>

We're are two cowboy of the wild west<br>

Cowboy's who's boots have stepped into manour<br>

Heroes of song and of literature<br>

We ride in the snow and we ride in the rain<br>

Just like Gene Autry, just like John Wayne<br>

They were better cowboys then us and I mean it <br>

And we are still living and that is convenient <br>

<br>

Whoop-i-ti-yi-yo, git along little doggy<br>

Whoop-i-ti-yi-yo, git along little doggies<br>

Yoo-ah-lay-lee, yoo-ah-lay-lee, a-whooooo<br>

Wha, hooooo <br>

<br>
