Lonesome Cowboy Burt
Frank Zappa
Sung by Jimmy Carl Black: My name is Burtram I am a redneck All my friends They call me ’Burt’ (Hi Burt!) All my family From down in Texas Make their livin’ Diggin’ dirt THEN ITS THE THE SAME WITH THE OTHER VERSES Come out here to Californy Just to find me Some pretty girls Ones I seen Gets me so horny; Ruby lips ’N teeth like pearls! Wanna love ’em all! Wanna love ’em dearly! Wanna pretty girl- I’ll even pay! I’ll buy ’em furs! I’ll buy ’em jewelry! I know they like me; Here’s what I say: UNTIL: I’m lonesome Cowboy Burt! (Speakin’ atcha!) Come smell my fringe-y shirt! (Reekin’ atcha!) My cowboy pants My cowboy dance My bold advance On this here waitress . . . Yodel-oh-oo-pee-hey Yodel-oh-oo-pee! (He’s lonesome Cowboy Burt Don’tcha get his feelings hurt) Come out in this place ’N I’ll buy you a taste You can sit on my face- Where’s my waitress? Key change: Burtram Burtram redneck Burtram Burtram redneck SLIDE INTO CHORDS FROM SEMITONE DOWN () () (# ) ( ) I’m an awful nice guy! Sweat all day in the sun! Roofer by trade Quite a bundle I’ve made I’m unionized roofin’ old Son-of-a-gun! (He’s a unionized roofin’ old Son-of-a-gun!) Then the same for the next 2 verses When I get off I get plastered Drink till I fall onna floor Find me some Communist bastard ’N stomp on his face till he don’t Move no more! (He stomps on his face till he don’t Move no more!) I fuss an’ I cuss an’ I keep on drinkin’ Till my eyes puff up an’ turn red! I drool on m’shirt I see if he’s hurt Kick him again in the head yes! Kick him again in the head boys! Then repeat ’Im lonesome Cowboy Burt’ verse before finishing
