Riding on the range,

I've got my hat - on,

I've got my boots - dusty.



I've got my saddle

On my horse.

He's called....T-t-t-t-t-trigger

Of course.



I wanna be a cowboy

and you can be my cowgirl

I wanna be a cowboy

and you can be my cowgirl

I wanna be a cowboy



(woman's voice)

Riding on the chuck wagon,

Following my man.

His name is Ted,

Can you believe that?

Camping on the prairie

Plays havoc with my hair.

Makes me feel quite dirty,

Though we all do sometimes



I wanna be a cowboy

and you can be my cowgirl

I wanna be a cowboy

and you can be my cowgirl

I wanna be a cowboy



Looking like a hero,

Six-gun at my side,

Chewing my tobacco.

Out on the horizon,

I see a puff of smoke.

Indians on the warpath,

(Indian voice) White man speak-em with forked tongue.

Or not.

I wanna be a cowboy

and you can be my cowgirl

I wanna be a cowboy



My name is Ted,

And one day I'll be dead yo yo
