| Get excited everyone because here we are!
|
| The place where our great trail begins!
|
| Where’s that, dad?
|
| You’re in Independence!
|
| Welcome to
|
| The city so pleasing
|
| That everyone’s leaving
|
| Fuck it, go west
|
| Watch your backs
|
| The city is bustlin'
|
| With all kinds of hustlin'
|
| And grit, go west
|
| For Independence
|
| Here are just a few things you should know:
|
| Stay on the trail or you might get lost
|
| Don’t pay the toll, not worth the cost
|
| Marry rich so ya don’t die poor
|
| A bankers' best, but ya might die bored
|
| And independent
|
| Take a gander, kids! |
| Independence, Missouri
|
| Hi! |
| I’ve got dysentery! |
| You will too unless you stop to rest frequently.
|
| My wife and kids all died
|
| But if I pull through, I’ll travel at a steady pace from now on
|
| What’s dysentery, dad?
|
| Nothing we’ll ever have to worry about, son
|
| Don’t push your ox too hard, drive it too fast and you’ll end up at the
|
| lame-footed animals. |
| Then you’ll have to kill them
|
| I don’t ever wanna kill an animal, dad
|
| You won’t have to, son
|
| Did you know that the first stop on the trail, Fort Kearney was built by the U.
|
| S. Army to protect those bound for Oregon?
|
| I did know that!
|
| Ah, thanks for the advice and facts. |
| See kids?
|
| Not only is the trail to Oregon fun… It’s also fun and edu-ma-cational
|
| There’s lots to learn
|
| Which kid is your favorite?
|
| Not all of them make it
|
| Of course, sinkholes
|
| A nine-month dirge
|
| Every marriage is tested
|
| Thank God they invented
|
| Divorce, trending
|
| In Independence
|
| Here’s a piece of free advice for you:
|
| Before you go the General Store
|
| Has all you need and plenty more
|
| For your I-N-D-E-pendence
|
| Hi! |
| Welcome to the general store, I can fix you up with what you need: food,
|
| clothes, we even got a sale on wagon tongues- whatever the hell those are
|
| Actually sir, we’re doing this trip on a budget
|
| You know what? |
| I like you, so let me tell you what I’m gonna do:
|
| I’m gonna give you one wagon for the price of two, not a penny less!
|
| And for an extra fifty bucks, I’m gonna throw in an ox… for free!
|
| A free ox! |
| Oh boy!
|
| We’re all friends
|
| There’s no war a-brewing
|
| No one’s abusing
|
| Their rights to own an
|
| Ox like me!
|
| You’ll need a full yolk
|
| Their love and care is no joke
|
| It’s a job of your love
|
| Independent!
|
| I pride myself on being a very good ox owner, our love is perfectly normal
|
| Moo!
|
| Here are just a few rules to live by
|
| For your independence!
|
| Don’t say sorry to your Indian guide
|
| They’re not prepared for genocide
|
| You might die of cholera and you might die of pain
|
| But that’s okay 'cause you’ll probably get laid
|
| By your mom and dad and little kids too
|
| 'Cause you all have to share the same bedroom
|
| Use your kids as tourniquets
|
| 'Cause they won’t help when you’re bit
|
| By a bear!
|
| Or a snake!
|
| Mother Nature’s really great
|
| When you’re out there on the Oregon Trail
|
| Feels like you are going to fail
|
| But don’t give up too soon
|
| The world is your saloon
|
| Um, Mom, I don’t mean to be a buzz-kill but do you ever get the idea that maybe
|
| this trip isn’t gonna be as fun or «edu-ma-cational» as dad says?
|
| Like maybe you might die or grandpa or dad?
|
| Well, if grandpa dies, that’s just God’s will. |
| Trust me, kids
|
| (sung)
|
| There’s a place for us
|
| In a house out west
|
| It’s Oregon or bust
|
| To save the family crest
|
| That’s the promise of the valley
|
| Leave all this behind
|
| Lord have mercy on my soul
|
| As I try to lead the blind!
|
| Chin up kids
|
| Your family’s united
|
| I guess I’m excited…
|
| Oh, I’m so excited I pooped myself!
|
| Let’s go where
|
| The gold rush is soaring
|
| Let’s go exploring
|
| Our independence!
|
| Be prepared to take your life
|
| With an arrow or a hunting knife
|
| Stop and see Fort Laramie
|
| There’s nothin' to see, but you’ll have to pee
|
| Do you understand 'cause you look confused
|
| Take a look at scenic mountain views
|
| Stay away from Old Man Bridger
|
| When he’s drunk he’ll take your liver
|
| Life is not a petting zoo
|
| Or you’ll get ripped in two
|
| By a
|
| Bear!
|
| Or a snake!
|
| Mother Nature’s really great
|
| Staying alive can be lots of fun
|
| Be sure you have a loaded gun
|
| Something will go wrong
|
| The list is far too long
|
| Declare your independence
|
| Declare your independence
|
| Declare your independence
|
| Declare your
|
| ENCE!
|
| Diphtheria, leukemia, onomatopoeia
|
| All the same 'cause it gives you diarrhea
|
| Runaway thieves are on the lamb
|
| Leave them up to Uncle Sam
|
| Don’t stress
|
| Take a breath
|
| It might just be your last!
|
| Friends don’t let friends ford the river…
|
| Take a ferry!
|
| For your I-N-D-E-pendence
|
| Time to hit the road! |
