Irving Berlin - Colonel Buffalo Bill lyrics

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 pa**engers 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 pa**engers 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 k**? -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
