The Lyrics
Some "Lone Ranger" fun anticipating the new $200 million movie from Disney in July 2013. Tonto came from the Potawatomi Trine and as the Chief's son was known as the "Wild One." He saved John Reid from dying after the Texas Rangers were ambushed by Butch Cavendish and his gang. Nuturing Reid back to health, they became lifelong friends. As the masked Lone Ranger, Tonto called him Kemo Sabe which means "Faithful Scout". The Lone Ranger rode "Silver" while Tonto rode "White Feller" first and then a Pinto named "Scout." Together the Lone Ranger and Tonto tracked and fought outlaws, enforcing the law...
There was an Indian who stood tall,
And Tonto was his name-o
T-O-N-T-O
T-O-N-T-O
T-O-N-T-O
And Tonto was his name-o
Rescued Reid from Texas Rangers fall,
And Tonto was his name-o
(clap)-O-N-T-O
(clap)-O-N-T-O
(clap)-O-N-T-O
And Tonto was his name-o
“Wild One“ with “Faithful Scout“ served the Law,
And Tonto was his name-o
(clap)-(clap)-N-T-O
(clap)-(clap)-N-T-O
(clap)-(clap)-N-T-O
And Tonto was his name-o
On “White Feller“ answered Ranger‘s call,
And Tonto was his name-o
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-T-O
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-T-O
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-T-O
And Tonto was his name-o
Fierce warrior tracked and fought outlaws,
And Tonto was his name-o
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-O
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-O
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-O
And Tonto was his name-o
Chief‘s son Lone Ranger‘s best friend of all,
And Tonto was his name-o
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)
Forever they remained so…
And Tonto was his name-o
T-O-N-T-O
T-O-N-T-O
T-O-N-T-O
And Tonto was his name-o
Rescued Reid from Texas Rangers fall,
And Tonto was his name-o

Steady, Big Fellow! Why, who was that masked man, anyway.?..Clever sub...been really funny if you could have had the Ranger and Tonto playing Bingo..
I watched that show on television - re runs - before high fidelity so the sound was distorted. There are many versions of the Lone Ranger story - one was that he was Jewish so that was why he always wore his hat. He wore a mask so the rabbi wouldn't recognize him when he was riding his horse on the sabbath. And why do you suppose he named his horse Silver?
Tonto: fool, foolish. Parody: clever.
Thanks all! Very ill at home in bed so replies to some parodies delayed :(
