Kick Up Yer Heels

Cock-a-doodle-doo! Time is come for you 
to raise yer head, get out of bed.
Strum a note or two.

If you cain’t strum, pick and grin – hum a lick.
Enjoy the fun till ‘morrow come. 
Buzz a note or two.

If you cain’t hum, blow and suck – mount a show.
Play yer juice harp, B flat C sharp.
Spit a tune or two.

If you cain’t blow tune, howl at the full moon.
Pick a cowgirl – turn, twist, and twirl.
Make them girls swoon.

Laid out with dry cows, gotta git up – rouse
You ain’t home yet, ain’t lost yer bet.
Dodged them hoosegows!

Time to saddle up, stop for a li’l cup.
Coffin varnish – insides tarnish –
Feel like a pup.

A day for hard work, not somethin’ to shirk.
Head Texas big, hitchin’ the rig.
Kick’n heels hurts!

I remember square dancing as a little girl - my father was quite the dancer (and a great musical ear) and a distant cousin a caller. Thanks - fun times Luke! ;) Linda
