Come along with me to the Congo land
E MajorE
Got a zebra by the tail and a python in my hand
A augmentedA
Once my home was a Texas plain
E MajorE
but now I swing a lasso on an alien terrain
BB
Hottentons and pygmies know where to go
A augmentedA E MajorE
Everybody's heading for the Watusi Rodeo
Cowboys are putting up a big fence around
A augmentedA sacred elephant burial ground
Native women stomping up a flurry in the mud
Everybody's looking for some cowboy blood
I guess they didn't like them hats we made 'em wear
They didn't look good on the native hair
Don't they don't it's all for show
All for showing at the Watusi Rodeo
(solo)
Monkeys in the trees just thumbing their nose
At the bull-riders riding on rhinos
Warriors standing with their spears in the hands
Wondering what's next from the crazy white man
Natives are restless under these Stetsons
What are these cowboys doing in the Congo
Look like cows but they're water buffaloes
Everybody's heading for the Watusi Rodeo
They look like cows but they're water buffaloes
Ropin' and a riding in the Watusi Rodeo
