Montana

I might be movin' to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental floss
Raisin' it up
Waxen it down
In a little white box
I can sell uptown
By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental floss
Raisin' my lonely
Dental floss
Well I just might grow me some bees
But I'd leave the sweet stuff
For somebody else, but then, on the other hand I'd
Keep the wax
N' melt it down
Pluck some floss
N' swish it aroun'
I'd have me a crop
An' it'd be on top (that's why I'm movin' to Montana)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a dental floss tycoon (yes I am)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune
I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil floss
That's growin' on the prairie
Pluckin' the floss!
I plucked all day an' all nite an' all
Afternoon
I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss
(His name is mighty little)
He's a good hoss
Even though
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Any way
I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I'm gonna find me a horse
Just about this big
An' ride him all along the border line
With a
Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand
By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental floss
Raisin' my lonely
Dental floss
Raisin' my lonely
Dental floss
Well I might
Ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin'
In the moon-lighty night
And then I'd
Get a cuppa cawfee
N' give my foot a push
Just me 'n the pymgy pony
Over the dennil floss bush
N' then I might just
Jumb back on
An' ride
Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-ty-o-ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-ty-o-ty-ay)
