Yippee!
Ficus Bill was quite a cowboy
down in Texas
And the western su perman to say the least
He was the roughest, toughest critter
Never known to be a quitter
Cause he never had no fear of man or beast
So yippee -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh
For the toughest critter
west of the Alamo
Once he roped the raging cyclone
out of nowhere,
then he straddled it and
settled down with ease.
And while that cyclone
bucked and flitted,
Pecos rolled a smoke and lit it,
and he tamed that ornery
wind down to a breeze.
So yippee -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh
Once there was a drought
that spread all over Texas
So to sunny California he did go
And though the gag is kinda corny
He brought rain from California
That's the way we got the Gulf of Mexico
So yippee -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh
For the toughest critter
west of the Alamo.
Now once a band of rustlers
stole a herd of chattel.
But they didn't know the herd they
stole was bills.
And when he caught
them crooked billings,
Pecos knocked out all their fillings.
That's the reason why there's
gold in them there hills.
So yippee -aye -aye,
yippee -aye -oh,
For the toughest critter
west of the Alamo.
Oh, oh, oh, Fakers lost his way
While traveling on the desert
It was 90 miles across the
burning sand
He knew he'd never reach
the border
If he didn't get some water
So he got a stick and
dug the Rio Grande
By Leola Leola
Leola Leola
While a tribe of painted Indians
did a war dance
Pecos started shootin' up their little game
He gave them red skin
such a shake -up
that they jumped out of their make -up,
that's the way the painted
desert got its name
So yippee -aye -aye yippee -aye -oh
Her the toughest critter
west of the Isle of Moe.
While reclining on a
cloud high over Texas,
with his guns he made the
stars evaporate.
Then Pecos saw them stars declining,
so he left one brightly shining
as the emblem of the Lone Star,
Texas State.
So yippee -aye -aye -aye,
yippee -aye -oh,
as the emblem of the Lone Star,
Texas State.
