DESPERADO

Oh, there was a desperado from the wild and woolly west And he went into Chicago just to give the west a rest And he caused great commotion by the way that he was dressed And everywhere he went he gave his war whoop. CHORUS: Oh, the big bold man was a desperado From Triple Creek Way down in Colorado And he walked around like a big tornado And everywhere he went He gave his war whoop. Oh, he went to Coney Island just take in all the sights And he saw the who-chi-coo-chis And the girls all dressed in tights And he went into the movies And he SHOT OUT ALL THE LIGHTS! And everywhere he went he gave his war whoop. CHORUS Oh, there was a big policeman come a walking down the street And he say the big tornado come a-rolling down the street And he grabbed him by the whiskers And he grabbed him by the seat And put him where he couldn’t give his war whoop. CHORUS.
