This is a repeat and answer song,
Except for the chorus,
Which goes like this:


-Chorus-
He was a big bull man, he was a desperado,

From Cripple Creek way out in Colorado,
And he horsed around like a big tornado,
And everywhere he went he gave a yee-hoo


There was a desperado from the wild and wooly west,
He wore a big sombrero and two guns across his chest,

He rode out to Chicago just to give the west a rest,
And everywhere he went he gave a yee-hoo.


Chorus

He went to Coney Island just to check out all the sights,

He rode the rollercoaster and it gave him such a fright,
It gave him double vision so he shot out all the lights,
And everywhere he went he gave a yee-hoo.


Chorus


There was a desperado just a walkin' down the street,
There was a big policeman just a cruisin' on his beat,
He grabbed him by the collar and he grabbed him by the seat,

And he threw him so he couldn't give his yee-hoo.

Chorus
