My name is Burtram, I am a redneck. |
All my friends, they call me Burt. |
Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan: |
Hi, Burt! |
Jimmy Carl Black: |
All my family from down in Texas |
make their livin' diggin' dirt. |
Come out here to Californy |
just to find me some pretty girls. |
Ones I seen gets me so horny |
ruby lips, |
n’teeth like pearls. |
Wanna love 'em all. |
Wanna love 'em dearly. |
Wann pretty girl, |
I’ll even pay … |
I’ll buy 'em furs. |
I’ll buy 'em jewelry … |
I know they like me. |
Here’s what I’ll say. |
I’m lonesome cowboy Burt. |
(Speakin' atcha!) |
Come smell my fringe-y shirt. |
(Reekin' atcha!) |
My cowboy pants, |
my cowboy dance, |
my bold advance. |
On this here waitress … |
Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan: |
He’s lonesome cowboy Burt. |
Don’tcha get his feelings hurt. |
Jimmy Carl Black: |
Come on in this place |
an' I’ll buy you a taste. |
You can sit on my face. |
Where’s my waitress? |
Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan: |
Burtram, Burtram redneck. |
Burtram, Burtram redneck. |
Jimmy Carl Black: |
I’m an awful nice guy. |
Sweat all day in the sun. |
I’m a roofer by trade, |
quite a bundle I’ve made |
I’m unionized roofin' old |
Son-of-a-gun. |
Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan: |
He’s a unionized roofin' old |
son-of-a-gun. |
Jimmy Carl Black: |
When I get off, I get plastered. |
I drink till I fall on the floor. |
Find me some Communist bastard |
n' stomp on his face till he don’t |
move no more. |
Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan: |
He stomps on his face till he don’t |
move no more. |
Jimmy Carl Black: |
I fuss an' I cuss and I keep on drinkin' |
till my eyes puff up an' turn red. |
I drool on m’shirt. |
I see if he’s hurt. |
Then I kick him again in the head, let’s |
Kick him again in the head! |
Boys! |
Kick him again in the head! |
Now! |
Kick him again in the head! |
Jimmy Carl Black: |
I’m lonesome cowboy Burt. |
(Speakin' atcha!) |
Come smell my fringe-y shirt. |
(Reekin' atcha!) |
My cowboy pants, |
my cowboy dance, |
my bold advance. |
On this here waitress … |

Don’tcha get his feelings hurt. |
Jimmy Carl Black: |
Come on in this place |
an' I’ll buy you a taste. |

Where’s my waitress? |
Opal, you hot little bitch! |
