I'm a cowboy With a tiny of six guns. get you ten, I betcha never one. Well I'm a seven cowboy How do you be? And I'm used to people gawking and at me But I wasn't always so wee Let me you my story, You can for free. For long years, Now a year for every inch I stand traveled small and lonely down the byways of this giant land Like a country western Lilliputian too to stop I'm at the of the food chain whereas I once was at the top. I wandered on foot, my horse had done me And town I come to's like a terrible dream The other mocked me and spit tobacco like meteors Watching me dodge 'em and at my small squeaky scream I went to a to get a drink wouldn't serve me They me in a glass and slid me up and down the bar And all the barroom gathered round and had their way with me They sang a both cold and mean that's how women are, sang, "A man can pan for and strike it rich and be a millionaire Or ride the and be the best one at it anywhere. a brand new car, be a movie star Size is all counts, and there you are." And I'm a seven-inch With a tiny of six guns get you ten I bet you never one (Yodeling) Now as you can imagine, I'd pretty bitter (Although that's the way in which I had grown) And in that seventh year I finally my transgressor, The man who had shrunk me, the worst fiend I'd known. The mad Professor Mentley was his name and I drew I hopped his shoulder and I grabbed him by the ear I my little pistols up and I told 'im, "Look a-here! You made me this way, it's you pay, you gol-darned queer!" And the said, "Wait! Wait! Now you know me, and I you And you know that strange experiments are what I do It's less like a pastime and like a job Why if I do it, I'd be an unemployed slob Now I know that suffice if I'm to set you at ease But I'm thinking as fast as I can for a man who's on his knees And this passing moment I had a thought, here's what I thunk, I thought, 'Where you be today if you hadn't've shrunk?' Just another nameless cowboy, a bumpkin Riding in the sun, burnt the color of a pumpkin Reviled by the ladies, by other men, Nothing to set you apart nor would there ever been I came along, yes ME, Professor Mentley! I gave you a gift! (though you weren't evidently) I plucked you from average status, I made you unique a seven-inch cowboy, not a six foot freak. From every corner of the folks will come to adore you Nations bow and throw their riches before you You'll be diminutive in stature, but a titan Because I, true friend, chose to stand by your side." Now I cogitated on the words Mentley shared And I wondered if he only said 'em 'cause he was scared My guns were weighin' in my hands, my heart was low When suddenly old advice came to me soft and slow: Well my pop me it don't matter where a fella goes You can sail through icy and misty archipelagoes. to the moon, orbit every star Size don't really and there you are. And I'm a cowboy (seven inches tall) With a tiny pair of six guns (That's mighty small) get you ten (For all you bettin' men) You'll never see one (yeah!) I guess Professor Mentley had a point I shot him anyway There's never been a gentleman like me and is safe to say Well, I've thought real and hard, so hard my brain is numb Now I say (Hollywood!), Hollywood (Hollywood!) here I come!
