Lyrics
Come all ye young cowboys, I’ll sing you a song.
Stand back from the wagons, stay where you belong.
I hear you observin’ I’m fussy and slow.
But while you’re punchin’ cattle, I’m punchin’ the dough.

Now you think you’re right handy with gun and with rope
But I notice you’re bashful when usin’ the soap.
When you’re rollin’ your “Bull” for your brown cigarette,
I’m rollin’ the dough for the biscuits you get.

When you’re cuttin’ the stock then I’m cuttin’ the steak;
When you’re wranglin’ horses I’m wranglin’ a cake.
When you’re hazin’ your doggies and battin’ your eyes,
I’m hazin’ dried apples that aim to be pies.

In the old days the punchers took just what they got;
It was sow belly, beans, and the old coffee pot.
But now you come howlin’ for pie and for cake,
And cuss at the cook for a good belly ache.

You say that I’m old with my feet on the skids;
Well, I’m tellin’ you now that you’re nothin’ but kids.
If you reckon your mounts are some snaky and raw,
Just try ridin’ herd on a stove that won’t draw.

No use of your snortin’ and fightin’ your head;
If you like it with chili, take just what I said.
For I aims to be boss of this end of the show;
When you’re punchin’ cattle, I’m punchin’ the dough.
