Who's got the stuff that made the Wild West wild?
|
Who pleases ev'ry woman, man and child?
|
Who does his best to give the customers a thrill?
|
-Who?
|
Colonel Buff'lo Bill
|
|
Who's got the show that gets the most applause?
|
Five hundred Indians and fifty squaws
|
Ten feature acts and there's the special feature still
|
-Who?
|
Colonel Buff'lo Bill
|
|
Did you ever see a cowboy rope a steer?
|
-No, we haven't
|
Or an Indian with feathers throw a spear?
|
-No, we haven't
|
Or a marksman shoot an earring from an ear?
|
-No, we haven't
|
Did you ever see a hold up?
|
-No, sir
|
Then gather closer
|
And let me give you some of the atmosphere
|
|
The hour is midnight and all is still
|
We see the stagecoach climbing up a hill
|
Going along a mountain trail
|
Carrying passengers and mail
|
Never suspecting danger as they roll along
|
The watchful driver is in his seat
|
His trusty rifle lying at his feet
|
Some of the passengers inside
|
Seem to be dozing as they ride
|
Never suspecting there is something really wrong
|
|
Suddenly there's a shout
|
-What is it all about?
|
What is it all about you ask? It's Indians
|
-Indians!
|
Indians
|
-Indians!
|
Very notable, cut your throat-able Indians
|
-Indians!
|
|
Just when they've taken ev'ryone by force
|
Who makes an entrance on a big white horse?
|
Who starts a-shootin' till there's no one left to kill?
|
-Gen'ral Grant?
|
No! Colonel Buff'lo Bill!
|
|
-Certainly this is quite a thrill, better than all the vaudeville
|
-Let us be on the go and see the show with Buff'lo Bill
|
