Guadalcanal Diary - Watusi Rodeo lyrics

Come along with me to the Congo land Got a zebra by the tail and a python in my hand Once my home was a Texas plain But now I swing a la**o on an alien terrain Hottentots and pygmies know where to go Everybody's heading for the Watusi rodeo Cowboys are putting up a big fence around A sacred elephant burial ground Native women stomping up a flurry in the mud Villagers are looking for some cowboy blood (Blood!) I guess they didn't like them hats we made 'em wear They don't look right on the native hair Don't they know that it's all for show All for showing at the Watusi rodeo Monkeys in the trees just thumbing their nose At the bullriders riding on rhinos Warriors standing with spears in their hands Wondering what's next from the crazy white man Natives are restless underneath Stetsons What are these cowboys doing in the Congo? Look like cows but they're water buffaloes Ropin' and a riding in the Watusi rodeo Oh they look like cows but they're water buffaloes Everybody's heading for the Watusi rodeo
