Cow Cow Boogie /1943/Don Raye, Gene
DePaul, Benny Carter
Out on the plains down near Santa Fe,
I met a cowboy ridin' 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.
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 local ways.
He's what you call a swingin' half-breed –
Singin' his Cow Cow Boogie in the strangest way –
Comma ti yi yi yeah, comma ti yippity yi yeah.
