Cow Cow Boogie
Carroll Gibbons And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I met a cowboy ridin' the range one day
And as he jogged along I heard him singing
A most peculiar cowboy song
It was a ditty, he learned in the city
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, get hip little doggies
And he trucked them on down the old fairway
Singin' his cow cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah
Singin' his cowboy song
He's just too much
He's got a knocked out western accent with a Harlem touch
He was raised on local weed
He's what you call a swing half breed
Singin' his cow cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah
Get along little doggie, better be on your way, your way,
Get along little doggie
And he trucked them on down the old fairway
Singin' his cow cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah.
Yip yip singing his cowboy song
Yip yip as he was joggling along
Yip yip he sings with a harlem touch
Yip yip that guy is just too much
Singing his cow cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yi yi yi yeah.
The lyrics to "Cow Cow Boogie" by Carroll Gibbons And His Orchestra tell the story of meeting a cowboy while out on the plains near Santa Fe. As they ride along, the cowboy sings a peculiar cowboy song, one that he learned in the city. The chorus of the song, "get along, get hip little doggies," urges the cattle to move along and continue on their way down the old fairway. The cowboy's singing style blends a western accent with a Harlem flair, as he effortlessly swings into the lyrics of the "Cow Cow Boogie" in his own unique way.
