Cooter
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uncle Jesse, and let's not forget Miss Daisy Duke
Rosco, don't you know, that sheriff was no straight shooter
Some may hate Boss Hogg, but man, we all love Cooter
The girls down at the Boar's Nest used to love to see 'em comin'
There ain't much in that little town them Duke boys ain't tried jumpin'
And when we hear that General Lee's familiar "Dixie" hooter
Now, Cooter is the reason that TV show was so hot
And Bo and Luke, they hung out with Cooter quite a lot
And when they took Cooter for a ride in them backwoods
They did things with Cooter (ha ha!) no man ever should
Cooter kept them boys' engine fired up and smokin'
No matter how they tore it up, Cooter kept on goin'
No such thing as GPS or On-Star computer
Them there boys didn't need no help when it came to findin' Cooter
Now, we have every episode on high def DVD
And we love to watch ol' Bo hood slide across our big TV
And Daisy in her short shorts could knock me any cuter
But what we want to see is a whole lot more Cooter
For those of you who think this song could not be any cruder
Get your mind out of the gutter; I'm just talkin' about Cooter
Yee-haw!
The lyrics of Cledus T. Judd's song "Cooter" pay homage to the classic TV show "The Dukes of Hazzard" and its beloved character, Cooter Davenport. The opening lines of the song reference the main characters of the show, including Bo and Luke Duke, Uncle Jesse, Miss Daisy Duke, and Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane. While most characters are described neutrally, Rosco is noted as being a "no straight shooter," implying that he was not an upstanding lawman. However, the singer makes it clear that despite some negative feelings towards Boss Hogg (the main antagonist of the show), everyone loves Cooter.
The second verse delves deeper into the relationship between Cooter and the Duke boys. Cooter is described as integral to the show's success, keeping the boys' car runnings and even going on "rides" with them in the backwoods. The singer hints at some sort of off-color shenanigans that went on during these excursions, but ultimately reminds the listener that the song is just about Cooter, who was a crucial part of the show.
Overall, the song celebrates the enduring popularity of "The Dukes of Hazzard" and the character of Cooter, who was a fan favorite. The lyrics are playful and tongue-in-cheek, never taking themselves too seriously but still paying tribute to a beloved piece of pop culture history.
