Wild West Show

Warpaint and feathers

Ice cream and cake

Navajo blankets and poisonous snakes

Sharp shootin' cowgirls

On a trick riding spree-

It's the goldangest thing

That you ever did see!

Now all the kids holler

From the bandstand

For an autograph picture

Of a medicine man

When out comes Annie Oakley

With a pearl handled gun

They say she can outshoot

Anyone

It's a Wild West Show

Everybody goes to the Wild West Show

Genuine buffalo at the Wild West Show

They got real buffalo at

The Wild West Show

Cowboys and Injuns

Must be makin' the news

They're printing up a lot tickets

And they're writing reviews

They're making a million dollars

But no one's to blame

The critics don't like it

So everyone came

They say in the papers

That they've got Sitting Bull

And there just ain't no telling

What that Injun might pull!

So save up your money boys

And maybe we'll go

And maybe we'll stay

For the whole damn show!

Now Buffalo Bill comes out in real

Buckskin pants

He rides a white stallion

While the Indians dance!

And they whoop and they holler

And they shoot off their blanks!

(Ol' Bill must be laughing

All the way to the bank!)

Now it's just like the real thing

Although it ain't real

The Indians play dead

(It's part of the deal)

The spectators ogle and stare

Goggle-eyed

It's sweeping the country

It's gone nation wide!
