As Randy checked
the board he read White Lightning was his mount,
the roughest horse
in rodeo's corral,
he'd sent more men
to hospital than anyone could count,
and most had never
rode again, as well.
So, Randy's hands
were shaking as he dressed that fateful day,
his buttons
wouldn't work or anything,
the buckle on his
belt refused to lock - but what the hey...
the time had come
to get into the ring.
He sat there on
White Lightning and could sense his evil mood,
the stallion
looked around as if to say:
"Well, hello
there, you would-be-cowboy-bronco-bustin' dude -
I hope your health
insurance is okay!"
The gate flew
open, out they jumped, the bronc was quite deranged,
poor Randy flew,
but managed to hang on,
he landed on the
horse's back and felt a little strange,
his western
leather cowboy boots had gone!
White Lightning
turned and twisted, then he headed for the sky,
and Randy looked
like landing in the dirt,
but somehow
dropped back on the horse, and felt a little shy,
he'd lost his
western spangled cowboy shirt!
His naked chest
was heaving and his plight was rather bad,
the dusty sweat
was stinging like a knife,
but Randy gripped
and stayed aboard - the stallion went mad,
the longest seven
seconds of his life!
The horse went
crazy, leapt up fifteen feet into the air
and Randy flew an
acrobatic dance,
but when he came
back down again, White Lightning's back was there,
the trouble was -
he'd lost his cowboy pants!
A naked bucking
bronco rider - what a tale to tell,
the crowd was
hushed, this was a special thing,
the Judge was so
enthralled he plumb forgot to ring the bell,
so Randy and the
horse stayed in the ring.
White Lightning
felt the naked skin, and skidded to a halt,
he'd never known
such tenderness and heat,
it took him back
to childhood days when he was just a colt,
he bowed his head
- this cowboy had him beat.
The crowd erupted,
no-one ever tamed this beast before,
and there he was -
a docile pussy cat,
so Randy was the
Champion - a star for ever more,
The cowboy who
wore only spurs and hat!
