D
Come along with me to the Congo land
                                           A
Got a zebra by the tail and a python in my hand
D
Once my home was a Texas plain
                                        A
But now I swing a lasso on an alien terrain
E
Hottentots and pygmies know where to go
D                           N.C.       A
Everybody's heading for the Watusi Rodeo

[Verse 2]
D
Cowboys are putting up a big fence around
                               A
A sacred elephant burial ground
D
Native women stomping up a flurry in the mud
                                           A
Villagers are looking for some cowboy blood (Blood!)
E
I guess they didn't like them hats we made 'em wear
D
They don't look right on the native hair
E
Don't they know it's all for show
D                      N.C.   A
All for showing at the Watusi Rodeo

[Verse 3]
D
Monkeys in the trees just thumbing their nose
                                    A
At the bull-riders riding on rhinos
D
Warriors standing with spears in the hands
                                            A
Wondering what's next from a crazy white man
E
Natives are restless under these Stetsons
D
What are these cowboys doing in the Congo
E
Look like cows but they're water buffaloes
D                          N.C.       A
Ropin' and a riding in the Watusi Rodeo

E
Oh they look like cows but they're water buffaloes
D                           N.C.        A  D  A
Everybody's heading for the Watusi Rodeo
