when she did her special number on a zebra skin
i thought she’d stop the show wo wo
singing yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

she winked at the audience and then she turned around
she had a picture of a cowboy tattooed on her spine
saying phoenix arizona nineteen fortynine

a taking care of shopping at the store wo wo
