RODEO CLOWN

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY MY DAD TOOK ME TO SEE

MY VERY FIRST RODEO IN ALL ITS PAGEANTRY

THERE WERE COWBOYS AND INDIANS, AND COWGIRLS TOO

WAVING FLAGS AND BANNERS ALL RED, WHITE, AND BLUE

CHORUS

HE’S A RODEO HERO THE RODEO CLOWN

HIS LIFE’S ON THE LINE WHEN THE COWBOY IS DOWN

THE RODEO CLOWN

THAT COWBOY’S IN TROUBLE BUT THE BULLS’ CHARGE WILL FAIL

‘CAUSE THE RODEO CLOWN’S GRABBING ONTO HIS TAIL.

ARMED WITH BARRELS AND PLENTY OF GREASE PAINT

THE CHANCES HE TAKES MAKES A BRAVE MAN FAINT

REPEAT CHORUS

MY DAD SPENT HIS LIFE DOING GREAT THINGS WITH ME

BUT THE RODEO STANDS TALLEST IN MY MEMORY

NOW, I HAVE A LITTLE BOY AND THE RODEO’S IN TOWN

I CAN’T WAIT ‘TILL HE SEES HIS FIRST RODEO CLOWN

REPEAT CHORUS twice then fade and repeat the rodeo clown four times
