Oh, gimme a horse, a great big horse,
And gimme a buckaroo,
And let me Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, gimme a ranch, a big pair of pants,
And gimme a Stetson too,
And let me Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Give me the wide open spaces...
For I'm just like a prairie flower,
Growing wilder by the hour.
Oh. gimme a moon, a prairie moon,
And gimme a gal what's true,
And let me Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, I never could sing a high class thing,
Good music I never knew,
But I can Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, I never could dance, 'cause when I dance,
I ruin the lady's shoe,
But I can Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
It's just a gift from the prairie ...
You shout it when a bad man jigs,
And it's very good for calling pigs.
I never could speak a word of Greek,
I never could boop-boop-a-doo,
But I can Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, you open your mouth two feet wide,
And take a big breath or two,
And then you Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh. you wiggle your toes and grit your teeth
Like Dangerous Dan McGrew,
And then you Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Be careful not to sing soprano,
And never Hi-de-hi-de-ho,
'Cause that don't go out in Idaho.
Oh, buckle your belt and fix your hat,
And spit her out, ka-choo!
And then you Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, what did Miss Cleopatra say to Antony when they met?
She hollered "Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!"
Oh, what did that roaming Romeo yell to Miss Juliet?
He hollered "Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!"
It started way back in Eden,
And Eve was the cause, and it's no fib,
She wah-hooed Adam for a rib.
Oh, what did Miss Pocahontas yell
The minute she saw John Smith?
She hollered "Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!"
Oh, gimme the plains, the Western plains,
And a bottle of apple jack,
And let me Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh gimme a saloon, an old spittoon,
And a package of chaw-tobacc',
And let me Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Give me a gal from dear old Dallas,
And play a Texas Tommy dance
And I'll cut loose with a wild romance!
Oh, gimme a gat, a cowboy hat,
A handkerchief red and blue,
And let me Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, gimme the plains, a pair of reins,
And my boots and saddle too,
And let me Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, lemme get at a lari-at,
As a steer comes into view,
And let me Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Give me the wide open spaces!
Each time I see a sawdust bar,
I wanna be a way out thar!
Oh, show me the pal who'll steal my gal,
And hand me my .32,
And let me Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
