Prairie Dog Town Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers

Poppin' up, poppin' down
Burrowing, making their funny little sounds
Guarding the ground and rooting all around
Watch your dry bones in the prairie dog town

Teddy Roosevelt said come quick
There′s a phenomenon and I'm in the thick of it
Riding around the badlands range
They came upon those creatures so strange
They're so small they couldn't hurt you
Just like they said about Napoleon too
Oh so cute they're sneaking around
Hiding the crimes 'round the Prairie Dog Town
They lay in wait 'neath the Dakota moon
For the chance to make you their next victim soon

Poppin' up, poppin' down
Burrowing, making their funny little sounds
Guarding the ground and rooting all around
Watch your dry bones in the prairie dog town

Went to a party at the Prairie Dog Town
Hills and holes and manicured grounds
Gaiety and chattering was in the air
While grinning teeth waited to bite you there
Small of mind better watch your back
Need rapid-moving eyes just to keep track
Behind the Bush he makes the gut strings wail
You can't judge a dog by the wag of its tail
