Lyrics

BEN THE BULL


I BEN THE BULL PROCLAIM THIS MANIFESTO
WE BULLS WANT A FAIR DEAL AT THE RODEO
WE?VE AGREED TO DRAW THE LINE AT OUR POW WOW
WE WON?T LET A SINGLE COWBOY RIDE FOR NOW
PLEASE DON?T THINK WE?RE TRYING TO BE CUTE
?TIL OUR DEMANDS ARE MET WE?LL SIT DOWN IN THE CHUTE

CHORUS

BULLY FOR BEN THE BULL BULLY FOR US
WE?LL HAVE FAIR PLAY OR WE?LL KEEP UP WITH THIS FUSS

WHEN THE COWBOYS RIDE IN, THE CROWD GOES WILD WITH CHEER
WE WANT TO HEAR APPLAUSE THE NEXT TIME WE APPEAR
THE COWBOY GETS THE GIRL AND THE MONEY, AND THE DRINK
WE GET ALL THE MUD AND THE STINK
WE WANT MORE THAN BRASS RINGS FOR OUR NOSES
WE WANT TO SMELL THE MONEY ALONG WITH THE ROSES

REPEAT CHORUS

NO MORE RODEO CLOWNS GRABBING ONTO OUR TAILS
AT ALL TIMES DIGNITY AND DECORUM MUST PREVAIL
NO WAVING RUBBER CHICKENS IN FRONT OF A BULLS? FACE
THOSE CLOWNS DON?T FOOL ANYONE EXCEPT THE HUMAN RACE
UNTIE ALL OUR COWBELLS AND THROW THEM DOWN A WELL
SO WE CAN SEND A COWBOY TO HEAVEN OR HELL

REPEAT CHORUS

RODEO OFFICIALS WE BULLS APPEAL TO YOU
MAKE THE ARENA CLEANER FOR YOU KNOW WHO
WE WON?T CHARGE A COWBOY IN THIS DIRTY DUST
COMPLETE TOILET FACILITIES ARE A MUST
WHEN WE THROW A BUCKEROO HE SHOULDN?T LAND IN POO
THE GROUND SHOULD BE ROCK HARD SO HE CAN BREAK IN TWO

REPEAT CHORUS

OH I DREAM OF RIDING A COWBOY VERY GENTLY
WITH HIM STRAPPED TO A SADDLE UNDER A TON OF ME
FOR ONCE THE BULL WON?T END UP AS A PILE OF STEAKS
THAT COWBOY WILL BE FLATTER THAN A PLATTER OF PANCAKES

REPEAT CHORUS
