I'm keeping steady company with Herman,
And the date we're fixing to determine,
Every night we go to see the movies,
cause it's dark and we can be old.
But his only satisfaction
comes from cowboy films with action,
and brother, when that action starts,
But first he holds my hand,
my head is on his shoulder,
I hear him whisper, darling,
They're holding out the stakes, folks!
And then I snuggle close,
I'm hoping he gets bolder
He sighs and murmurs, baby,
The cattle is stampeding!
Now what manner of man is this Herman,
this frustrated buckaroo?
I'll tell you what goes with him
Here's what he goes through
He's up at five and in the saddle,
says he's rounding up the cattle
But if you look close you'll find
On his route he's all aflutter,
hurting cream and rustling butter
honor's your P .I .O. Grade A,
He wears a ten -gallon hat
And he odors cowboy ditties
And at the end of the long, long trail
He's empty -bottled, jingle -jangle -jingle
And at last, when his day is done
He gallops flippity -clop to my gate
A -packin' his cat pistol
and a -twirlin' his lasso
We sit there in the dark,
I whisper, do you love me?
He sighs, and I know this is my big chance.
Then... The Reds can start
and the Posse start to shootin'
And the hero is a -fightin'
and the villain's dynamitin'
Cuz the galleries are comin'
And the bugles start to blowin'
And come on, you joke, we're goin'
An d goodbye to Sweet Romance
