At The Cosmic Saloon

At the cosmic saloon I drank moonshine till daybreak I arrived here in pantaloons with my big and blustery balloon. At the cosmic saloon I drink tequila sunrise Firewater fogs up my eyes What’s up buckaroo? When the work is done When the day is through We just float on in Our bartender pours us a round Of this world’s best gin Then we fly off to the moon Kick off our boots and stay awhile Then we’ll blow up my balloon We’ll take flight with finesse and style Take a trip with me short and funny Playing the pedal steel so sonic It’s my galactic hideaway Where my soul can frolic We left the banks so panicky All because of Butch Cassidy No shootouts were taken while the barrel was broken Holiday and Hardin have departed Their dames were abandoned Left in dreams brokenhearted Sometimes I have been lonely Climbing down Nature’s canyons That’s why I found this place Where it is always so homey The coziness a phenomenon Playing poker without an ace Keeping an unserious and distant face Playing rummy and other card games Watching the door for Jesse James Playing the pianola with its rolls with tacks upon the hammers. Playing old Carmichael’s Stardust Looking into my brew’s soft foam Then ol’ Buffalo Bill discussed his next bluff or big disgrace. Honky tonkin’ till the cows come home Yoddlin’ a country blues as we stroll Keeping a good taste and glamour Got our square dance in the chamber Paul Bunyan’s ol’ Sue’s on the roam The seven dwarfs are in fine rapport Have a touching good manner Beautiful dreamer and Ol’ Susannah are protecting us from danger. As the strains bring forth the tune We return to our cosmic saloon Where no fights are starting a bonanza Watching the peaceful twilight’s gleam As the crowds come by in streams Easing our weary desert blues Over the prairie and green savanna At the cosmic saloon I drank moonshine until daybreak I arrived here in pantaloons with my big and blustery balloon. Then I’ll invite all guests on in Up, up and away to the evening’s stars Then we start like Rumpelstiltskin Learning about hayrides and what’s to make when all disappears both near and far.
