Out on the west down near Santa Fe I met a cowboy ridin' on the range one day
And as he jogged along I heard him singin' The most peculiar cowboy song
It was a ditty, he learned in the city
Comma ti yi yi yeah  Comma ti yippity yi yeah

Now get along, get hip little doggies Get along, better be on your way
Get along, get hip little doggies He trucked 'em on down that old fairway
Singin' his Cow Cow Boogie in the strangest way 
Comma ti yi yi yeah  Comma ti yippity yi yeah

Chorus:
Now singin' his cowboy songs  He's just too much
He's got a knocked out western accent with a dixie touch
He was raised on loco weed He's what you call a swingin' half breed
Singin' his Cow Cow Booogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah   Comma ti yippity yi yeah

Yip yip singin his cowboy song    Yip yip as he was joggin along
Yip yip he sings with a Harlem touch   Yip yip again he's just too much
Singin' his cow cow boogie in the [mod] strangest way  [mod]
Comma ti-i yippity yi yeah
