The Lyrics

Verse 1:
High school graduation, it’s not very far,
Let me tell you of that talk host who once yelled “Yee-haw!!”,
The hero who gave us this line,
Is Rag-Tag Cowboy Gary! (“Yee-haw!!”)
Got his name from high school from that dumb kid Shneeb,
Ev'ry night he looked at Carole Lombard, went to sleep,
But, one line, it ain’t complete:
Without his story! (“Giddy-up, Eric [Harley]!”)

Chorus:
He always yells, “Yee-haw!”, to the boys and girlfriends,
As friends cry, annoying his fat principal,
That Gary’s ego; is inflated, gaited,
Seventeen, a dumb teenager with a line he keeps repeatin’.
How they run, when they see his water gun,
Because the high schoolers all know,
He's a hormones-raging, rootin’-tootin’ son-of-a-gun from Tonawanda,
Rag-Tag Cowboy Gary!

Verse 2: High school graduation’s coming, friends are sad.
When Shneeb thinks of it, he gets upset and gets mad,
I say, “Don’t cry, I got a line”,
That makes sense; has no swears!
When we walk up to the graduation stage,
Take the diploma from Principal Hesser,
Grab a cowboy hat, my Shneeb,
And let’s both yell, “Yee-haw!!”

Chorus:
He always yells, “Yee-haw!”, to the boys and girlfriends,
As friends cry, annoying his fat principal,
That Gary’s ego; is inflated, gaited,
Seventeen, a dumb teenager with a line he keeps repeatin’.
How they run, when they see his water gun,
Because the high schoolers all know,
He's a hormones-raging, rootin’-tootin’ son-of-a-gun from Tonawanda,
Rag-Tag Cowboy Gary!

Verse 3: “Now, young man McNamara, think of what you said.”
“When you grow up look back on this and feel stupid.”
I say, “You’re jealous of my line”,
“It makes sense; has no swears!”
Fifty years later, I’m hosting a talk show,
Mention this tale the week right before Christmas,
Screw that principal Hesser,
I’m glad I said, “Yee-haw!!”

Chorus:
He always yells, “Yee-haw!”, to the boys and girlfriends,
As friends cry, annoying his fat principal,
That Gary’s ego; is inflated, gaited,
Seventeen, a dumb teenager with a line he keeps repeatin’.
How they run, when they see his water gun,
Because the high schoolers all know;

He's a hormones-raging, rootin’-tootin’ son-of-a-gun from Tonawanda,
Rag-Tag Cowboy Gary!

He's a hormones-raging, rootin’-tootin’ son-of-a-gun from Tonawanda,
Rag-Tag cowboy, (Rootin’-tootin’),
Rag-Tag Cowboy Gary! (YEE-HAW!!!!!!!!)
