Woody's roundup
Right here every day
Woody's roundup
Come on, it's time to play
There's Jessie, the yodelin' cowgirl
(Yo-de-la, you-de-la, yo-de-la)
Bullseye, he's Woody's horse
(He's a smart one)
Pete the old prospector
And Woody the man himself
Of course
It's time for Woody's roundup
He's the very best
He's the rootinest tootinest cowboy
In the wild wild west
Woody's roundup
Come on, gather 'round
Woody's roundup
Where nobody wears a frown
Bad guys go runnin'
Whenever he's in town
He's the rootinest, tootinest
Shootinest, hootinest cowboy around
Woody's roundup
Right here every day
Woody's roundup
Come on, it's time to play
There's Jessie, the yodelin' cowgirl
(Yo-de-la, you-de-la, yo-de-la)
Bullseye, he's Woody's horse
(He's a smart one)
Pete the old prospector
And Woody the man himself
Of course
It's time for Woody's roundup
He's the very best
He's the rootinest tootinest cowboy
In the wild wild west
Woody's roundup
Come on, gather 'round
Woody's roundup
Where nobody wears a frown
Bad guys go runnin'
Whenever he's in town
He's the rootinest, tootinest
Shootinest, hootinest cowboy around
Woody's roundup
