One day we went out to the rodeo
We wanted to see the cowboys rope and ride
We got excited as we watched the show
We jumped right up and down and then we cried
Chorus:
I'd like to be a cowboy, but, ooh, I'm scared of cows
Moo, moo, moo how they scare me
I often try to face them, as in the field they browse
Moo, moo, moo how they scare me
I'd walk up to a lion, and smack him on the brow
I'd even kick a polecat, but don't ask me to punch a cow
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo. Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo. Moo, moo, moo, how they scare me!
I tried to milk a Hoistein, she acted like a fool
No matter how I coaxed her, she wouldn't sit down on the stool
Chorus
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo. Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo, Yikes!
A cow once tried to chase me, across a field of corn
She bumped right into my guitar, and didn't even sound the horn!
They'd like to all be cowboys, but ooh, they're scared of cows
(Moo, moo, moo, how they scare us!)
They often try to face them, as in the fields they browse
(Moo, how they scare us!)
Yippie ki-yi-i, yippi-yippie-ki-yi-a
Yippie, yippie, yippie-yippie-ki-a
Yippie, yippie, yippie-yippie-k-a!
