Oh, give me a horse, a great big horse,
And give me a buckaroo,
And let me Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, give me a ranch, a big pair of pants,
And give me a Stetson too,
And let me Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Give me the wide open spaces...
For I'm just like a prairie flower,
Growing wilder by the hour.
Oh. give me a moon, a prairie moon,
And give me a gal what's true,
And let me Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, I never could sing a high class thing,
Good music I never knew,
But I can Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, I never could dance, 'cause when I dance,
I ruin the lady's shoe,
But I can Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
It's just a gift from the prairie ...
You shout it when a bad man jigs,
And it's very good for calling pigs.
I never could speak a word of Greek,
I never could boop-boop-a-doo,
But I can Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, why did the wild cat gat so wild,
He didn't know what to do.
He couldn't Wah hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Why did the Zulu warrior lose the Battle of Timbuctoo?
He couldn't Wah hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
The world has Wah Hooed for ages (years and years).
Some like to Wah Hoo! soft and low,
others like to let it go.
Why did the old Chief Sitting Bull sit around feeling blue?
He couldn't Wah hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, Hollywood's queens who gracee the screen
Acquire the habit too.
They want to Wah hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh Mrs. O'Connolly learned it in the course of her contract too.
Give me those wide open spaces.
I want to be there with those frails;
Want to ride those hills and dales.
Oh, lay me to rest out in the West,
But make it a Mae West view
And let me Wah hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!
Oh, what did Miss Cleopatra say to Antony when they met?
She hollered "Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!"
Oh, what did that roaming Romeo yell to Miss Juliet?
He hollered "Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!"
It started way back in Eden (a long time ago),
And Eve was the cause, and it's no fib,
She wah-hooed Adam for a rib.
Oh, what did Miss Pocahontas yell
The minute she saw John Smith?
She hollered "Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!"
