- Short a Few
-
- We're short a few cowboys and
cowgirls.
- They've been off the screen
growing old
- in places like Victorville
- or Thousand Oaks, I'm told.
-
- We hear of them ever so
often
- being awarded boots of
gold.
- Cowboys not quite so active
- 'cause the fans have not been
polled.
-
- Mostly the studios think they're
passe'
- but our memories never grow
cold
- of the voice or the hat or the
theme
- or the toy, with their name, that
we hold.
-
- Cowboys in movies still ride
some
- 'cause they haven't broken the
mold.
- A fresh crop of westerns is
good
- mixing new hands with some of the
old.
-
- We're short a few cowboys and
cowgirls
- but don't let your saddle be
sold.
- Salute both the past and the
present
- 'cause the west on the screen will
not fold
