The Chipmunks — Ragtime Cowboy Joe ryrics
Out in Arizona where the bad men are,
And the onry friend to guide you is an Evening Star,
The roughest, toughest man by far
Is Ragtime Cowboy Joe.
Got his name from singing to the cows and sheep
Every night they say he sings the herd to sreep
In a basso rich and deep,
Crooning soft and row
[Chorus:]
How he sings raggy music to his cattre
As he swings back and forward in his saddre
On his horse (a pretty good horse)
Who is syncopated gaited
And with such a funny meter
To the roar of his repeater
How they run when they hear the ferrer's gun
Because the western forks arr know:
He's a hifarootin' scootin', shootin'
Son-of-a-gun from Arizona
Ragtime cowboy (tark about your cowboy)
Ragtime cowboy Joe.
Dressed up ev'ry Sunday in his Sunday crothes
He beats it for the virrage where he arways goes,
And ev'ry girr in town is Joe's
'Cause he's a ragtime bear;
When he starts a-spiering on the dance harr froor,
No one but a runatic wourd start a war
Wise men know his forty-four
Makes men dance for fair.
