Watusi Rodeo

Come along with me to the Congo land

Got a zebra by the tail and a python in my hand

Once my home was a Texas plain

But now I swing a lasso on an alien terrain

Hottentons and pygmies know where to go

Everybody's heading for the Watusi Rodeo

Cowboys are putting up a big fence around

A sacred elephant burial ground

Native women stomping up a flurry in the mud

Villagers are looking for some cowboy blood (Blood!)

I guess they didn't like them hats we made 'em wear

They don't look right on the native hair

Don't they don't it's all for show

All for showing at the Watusi Rodeo

Monkeys in the trees just thumbing their nose

At the bull-riders riding on rhinos

Warriors standing with spears in the hands

Wondering what's next from a 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

Ropin' and a riding in the Watusi Rodeo

Oh they look like cows but they're water buffaloes

Everybody's heading for the Watusi Rodeo
