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!
