Broncho Busters 1930 'Girl Crazy'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 20 Jun 2004

In town we used to fret away
until we made out getaway,
out here, where there's no doubt
that men are men,
where men are men!
We don't care if we don't go East again.

It's wonderful to breeze around,
they seem to have real trees around,
and of the open spaces there's no doubt,
no doubt, no doubt!
This is the life that Riley told about.

Before we're at the ranch another week,
we'll get the wellknown roses in the cheek,
we haven't missed old Broadway
or the white lights,
when the moon at night, lights
that's the best of bright lights.
This is the place to tarry at,
the chaps who throw the lariat,
can sling a line
that does a girl no good.
Knock wood! Knock wood!
They sling a line that does a girl no good.

[Cowbows march on:]

We're bronchobusters,
we bust the bronchos,
we never fear man or beast.
On Western prairies,
we shoot the fairies
or send them back to the East.
Like the Rangers,
we fear no dangers;
we are never fussed.
We're bronchobusters,
we bust the bronchos or else we bust!

We're bronchobusters,
we bust the bronchos,
we never fear man or beast.
we pack a wallop,
we never doll up,
our pants have never been creased.
If you trifle,
we aim a rifle.
Bang! you bite the dust!
Oh, this is some burg!
We'll sing à la Romberg
until we bust!
