I’m an Old Cowhand Louis Prima

[Verse 1: Louis Prima]
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain’t bowed and my cheeks ain't tanned
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer cause I don’t know how
And I sure ain't fixin' to start it now
(Yippie-yi-yo -ki-yay, yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay)

[Verse 2: Keely Smith]
I'm an Indian lass from Cahuenga Pass
For a kiss and hug, I will answer "ugh!"
Just a Cherokee from Virginia way
I'm the squaw who say "how y'all today?"

How you like that heap corny joke I say?
You no laugh, me no smile (oogh, you no laugh me no smile)

[Verse 3: Louis Prima]
He's an old cowhand from New Orleans
And he played his horn since he's in his teens
Sam Butera!

(Yippie-yi-shoo-bee-doo, yippie-yi-shoo-bee-doo)

[Verse 4: Louis Prima]
Too hot for you, Uncle down in Cajun land
Comes a swingin’ cat—he’s the trombone man
Lou Sino!
