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
