One day we went 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!
