Le Voyage Magnifique

Young Cowboy Bob

Young cowboy Bob likes to frequent
the local honky-tonks and bars.
It is his special way to vent
after days of riding boxcars.

For money, he will steal and rob
from any poor soul who’s around,
because he never has a job--
just hangs ‘round like some lazy hound.

That ragged old scar on his cheek
and the evil glint in his eye
will make the queasy patrons shriek--
he’s such an evil-looking guy.

If you cross him, he promptly cuts
you up with his trusty switchblade.
It’s true, folks, he’s really quite nuts.
You have good cause to be afraid.

He’s afflicted with a bloodlust
that thrives on the blood, guts, and gore
and feeds on a very robust
craving for even more and more.

He would just as soon slit your throat
as drink another shot of booze.
So be sure NOT to get his goat,
‘cause that’s a fight you’ll surely lose.
