Hi and howdy doody.

You always know we

They say they got a lot of
reasons every day..
Just to get
A chance to meet you.
To check and see
No wrong been done
That's one good reason
I carry a gun.

Don't bum you out.

I'm sure you're glad to pay.
Whip it out, here is your receipt
Now I'll go away, now I'll go away...
Now I'll go away, now I'll go away...
Away-y-y! Away-y-y! Away-y-y!
Doowah.
