Colonel Buffalo Bill

Irving Berlin

    Continues after the ad

    Who's got the stuff that made the Wild West wild?
    Who pleases ev'ry woman, man and child?
    Who does his best to give the customers a thrill?
    -Who?
    Colonel Buff'lo Bill

    Who's got the show that gets the most applause?
    Five hundred Indians and fifty squaws
    Ten feature acts and there's the special feature still
    -Who?
    Colonel Buff'lo Bill

    Did you ever see a cowboy rope a steer?
    -No, we haven't
    Or an Indian with feathers throw a spear?
    -No, we haven't
    Or a marksman shoot an earring from an ear?
    -No, we haven't
    Did you ever see a hold up?
    -No, sir
    Then gather closer
    And let me give you some of the atmosphere

    Continues after the ad

    The hour is midnight and all is still
    We see the stagecoach climbing up a hill
    Going along a mountain trail
    Carrying passengers and mail
    Never suspecting danger as they roll along
    The watchful driver is in his seat
    His trusty rifle lying at his feet
    Some of the passengers inside
    Seem to be dozing as they ride
    Never suspecting there is something really wrong

    Suddenly there's a shout
    -What is it all about?
    What is it all about you ask? It's Indians
    -Indians!
    Indians
    -Indians!
    Very notable, cut your throat-able Indians
    -Indians!

    Just when they've taken ev'ryone by force
    Who makes an entrance on a big white horse?
    Who starts a-shootin' till there's no one left to kill?
    -Gen'ral Grant?
    No! Colonel Buff'lo Bill!

    -Certainly this is quite a thrill, better than all the vaudeville
    -Let us be on the go and see the show with Buff'lo Bill
