Ragtime Cowboy Joe Lyrics By David Seville And The Chipmunks

    gunshot

    chipmunks
    oh how he sings
    raggy music to his cattle
    as he swings
    back in forth in his saddle
    on a horse

    alvin
    what a horse

    chipmunks
    who is syncopated gaited
    and with such a funny meter
    to the roar of his repeater

    how they run
    when they hear the fella’s gun
    because the western folks all know
    he’s a high falutin’

    alvin
    rootin’ tootin’

    chipmunks
    sonofagun from arizona
    he’s some cowboy
    talk about your cowboy
    ragtime cowboy joe

    musical interlude

    gunshots

    alvin speaking
    look out sheriff they’re gettin’ away

    gunshot

    dave speaking
    alvin stop shooting that gun

    gunshot

    alvin speaking
    reach for the sky you sidewinder

    gunshot
    dave speaking
    alvin will you put that gun down

    gunshot

    alvin speaking
    don’t worry lady i’ll go get ’em

    loud gunshot

    dave shouting
    alvin
    will you please put that thing down and get back here and sing

    chipmunks
    oh how he sings
    raggy music to his cattle
    as he swings
    back in forth in his saddle
    on a horse

    alvin
    what a horse

    chipmunks
    who is syncopated gaited
    and with such a funny meter
    to the roar of his repeater

    how they run
    when they hear the fella’s gun
    because the western folks all know
    he’s a high falutin’

    alvin
    rootin’ tootin’

    chipmunks
    son of a gun from arizona
    he’s some cowboy
    talk about your cowboy
    ragtime cowboy joe

    gunshots to the beat

    alvin shouting to fade out
    highho alvin
