Speaking of Animals "Cow Cow Boogie" (1945)



"Speaking of Animals" was produced by Paramount Pictures throughout the 1940's. Legendary animator Tex Avery was responsible for many. This one, "Cow Cow Boogie" won an Academy Award in 1945.

Out of the plains down near Santa Fe
I met a cowboy ridin' the range one day
And as he rode along I heard him singin'
The most peculiar cowboy song

It was a ditty, he learned in the city
Comma te yi yi yeah
Comma te yippity yi yeah

Now get along, get hip little doggies
Get along, better be on your way now
Get along, Get hip little doggies
He trucked on down that old fairway

Singin' his Cow Cow Boogie in the strangest way
Comma te yi yi yeah
Comma te yippity yi yeah

Now singin' his cowboy songs
He's just too much
He's got a knocked out western accent with a dixie touch

He was raised on locoweed
He's what you call a swing-halfbreed
Singin' his Cow Cow Boggie in the strangest way
Comma te yi yi yeah
Comma te yippity yi yeah
