Who's got the stuff that made
The Wild West wild?
Who pleases ev'ry woman, man and child?
Who does his best to give
The customers a thrill? Who?
Colonel Buff'lo Bill

Who's got the show that
Gets the most applause?
Five hundred Indians and fifty squaws
Ten feature acts and there's
The special feature still who?
Colonel Buff'lo Bill

Did you ever see a cowboy rope a steer?
-No, we haven't
Or an Indian with feathers throw a spear?
-No, we haven't
Or a marksman shoot an earring from an ear?
-No, we haven't did you ever see a hold up?
-No, sir then gather closer
And let me give you some of the atmosphere

The hour is midnight and all is still
We see the stagecoach climbing up a hill
Going along a mountain trail
Carrying passengers and mail
Never suspecting danger as they roll along
The watchful driver is in his seat
His trusty rifle lying at his feet
Some of the passengers inside
Seem to be dozing as they ride
Never suspecting there is
Something really wrong

Suddenly there's a shout
What is it all about?
What is it all about you ask? It's Indians
-Indians! Indians
-Indians!
Very notable, cut your throat-able Indians
-Indians!

Just when they've taken ev'ryone by force
Who makes an entrance on a big white horse?
Who starts a-shootin' till there's no
One left to kill? -Gen'ral Grant?
No! Colonel Buff'lo Bill!

-Certainly this is quite a thrill
Better than all the vaudeville
-Let us be on the go and
See the show with Buff'lo Bill
