While we're at it, we have a sort of a cowboy song we'd like to do for ya
This is a song that deals with the rapidly approaching 200th birthday of the United States of America, ladies and gentlemen!
This is a song that warns you in advance that next year
Everybody is gonna try and sell you things that maybe you shouldn't ought to buy
And not only that, they've been planning it for years
The name of this song is (pardon me), "Poofters Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead"
ย
Poofter's Froth, Wyoming
March Eleven Sixty-Seven
Take a letter
Ms. Abetter
An' our pigeons
Will be homing
To our jobbers in Dakota
And to Merwyn, Minnesota
This is merely just a note about
Performance to our quota
Well, we've all come out
To show dem,
An' the Elks have helped us
Load 'em...
Little packets full of jackets
Little rackets, little rackets
Little Poofter-Cloth Appointments
Little Poofter's Froth Anointments
Little hoods, little goods
Little doo-dads from the woods
The entire stock is shipping
(Oh, our shod is hardly slipping!)
To our markets of the world
Our wrinkled pennants are unfurled!
T-shirt racks, rubber snacks
Poster rolls with matching tacks
Yes, a special beer for sports
And paper cups that hold two quarts!
ย
Everything a nation needs
For making hoopla while it feeds
The trash compactors, small reactors
Mowers, blowers, throwers and the glowers
This is Buy-Cent-Any-All Salute (HYULK!)
Two hundred years have gone ka-poot!
(Ah but we have been astute!)
Signed
Anon โ Wyo, Galoot
