Way Out West

Lyrics

[BABY ROSE] I've traveled the plains In mountain streams I'd paddle Over the Rockies I would trail I'd hark to the strains Of cowboys in the saddle Not very musical, but male I've roamed o'er the range with the herd Where seldom is heard an intelligent word Git along, little taxi, you can keep the change I'm ridin' home to my kitchen range Way out west on West End Avenue Oh, I'd love to listen to the wagon wheels That bring the milk that your neighbor steals Way out west on West End Avenue Keep all your mountains And your lone prairie so pretty Give me the fountains That go wrong at Rodeo City I would trade your famous deer and antelope For one tall beer and a cantaloupe Way out west on West End Avenue Yippee-yi-yay! Git along, little elevator, climb once more To my lone shack on the fourteenth floor Way out west on West End Avenue When the sun's a-risin' over Central Park I pull the blinds and it's nice and dark Way out west on West End Avenue Redskins may battle With their tomahawks and axes I'll join the cattle In the big corral at Saks's Oh, the wild herd gathers when the moon is full There's not much buffalo, but lots of bull Way out west on West End Avenue Yippee-yi-yay! [QUARTET] Git along, little taxi, you can keep the change I'm ridin' home to my kitchen range Way out west on West End Avenue Oh, I love to listen to the wagon wheels That bring the milk that your neighbor steals Way out west on West End Avenue Keep all your mountains And your lone prairie so pretty Oh, give me the fountains That go wrong at Rodeo City I would trade your famous deer and antelope For one tall beer and a cantaloupe Way out west on West End Avenue Yippee-yi-yay! [BABY ROSE] Git along, little elevator, climb once more To my lone shack on the fourteenth floor [BABY ROSE & QUARTET] Way out west on West End Avenue [BABY ROSE] When the sun's a-risin' over Central Park I pull the blinds and it's nice and dark [BABY ROSE & QUARTET] Way out west on West End Avenue [BABY ROSE] Those forty-niners Who would stake a claim were hardy I'll join the diners And I'll claim a steak at Sardi [QUARTET] Sardi [BABY ROSE] Oh, the wild herd gathers when the moon is full There's not much buffalo, but lots of bull [BABY ROSE & QUARTET] Way out west on West End Avenue Yippee-yi-yay!
