Warping Feathers
Ice Cream Cake Navajo Blankets
and the Poisonous Snake Shark
Shooting Cowgirls on
the Trick Rattles Free
It's the goddangest thing
that you'll ever get to see
Now all the kids holler from the bandstand
For an autographed picture
of a medicine man
When out comes Annie Oakley
with a pearl -handled gun
Says she can out -shoot anyone
It's the Wild West Show
It's the Wild West Show
It's the Wild West Show!
Everybody goes to the Wild
West Show!
Cowboys and Injuns must be
making the news
They're printing up a lot of tickets,
Lottery writing reviews
They're making a million dollars,
But there ain't no one to blame
Critics don't like it,
So everyone came
They're sayin' the paper
That they've got sittin' full
Talkin' jobs and no tellin'
What that engine might pull
So save up your money, boys
And maybe we'll go
Like Matthew will stay
For the whole damn show
It's a Wild West show
It's a Wild West show
It's a Wild West show
They've got real buffalos
at the Wild Women's Show
Buffalo Bill comes out
in real buckskin pants
He rides a white stallion
while the Indians dance
And they hoop and they holler
and they shoot off their flanks
Old Bill must be laughing
all the way through the bank
You know it's just like the real thing,
although it ain't real
The Indians, baby, it's part of the deal
The spectator's eye will let
me stare gaggle -eyed
Got it sweeping the country,
it's gone nationwide
It's the Wild West Show
Everybody go!
It's the Wild West Show
It's the Wild West Show
Ginuwine, Buffalo,
and the Wild West Show
