Part-time Cowboy George
(Sung to the tune "Ragtime Cowboy Joe")

Down in Crawford, Texas
On the Bar Fly ranch,
Halliburton's building
A first aid branch
For the roughest, toughest accidents
Of Part-time Cowboy George.

Got his name from clinging,
Not to horses, cows and sheep,
But from hanging onto handle bars all day.
From the insults that that's bringing,
They don't know trails can be steep
And quite narrow for three wheelers to assay.

No surprise,
He's the first one to skedaddle
As he tries
Not to fall out of the saddle
Of his bike,
So it's a trike,
That's more able to be stable
For someone who's been a bleeder
And a falling-off repeater.

How they run.
Ev'ry time he jumps the gun.
Unlike their George at Valley Forge,
He's a hifalootin', rootin', tootin',
Son-of-a-gun from Crawford, Texas,
Part-time Cowboy
(Why don't he switch to full-time?)
Part-time Cowboy George.
