The Lyrics
Tommy Turtle has already come up with something of his own along this train of derailed thought...
They say don't go on PokeBack Mountain
If yer lookin' fer a wife
Cuz there are cowpokes on Pokin' Back Mountain
Who have adopted an alternate life
Chorus:
Their hardened hips are rougher than cowhide
Love on the mountain they want to share
The birds and the bees on PokeBack Mountain
They have given up in dispair
Two cowboys dream on Pokin' Back Mountain
One is Roy Rogers and one is Dale
And they go riding into the sunset
They teach old Trigger how to swish his tail
Their hardened hips are tougher than jerky
Love on the mountain they want to share
The birds and the bees on Pokin back Mountain
They have given up in dispair
The gals are safe on Pokin Back Mountain
They're not wanted, and that's a fact
No need to hide your lovely daughter
When there are two guys in a bedsack
"Gone with the Wind", just eat yer heart out
They're rubbin' chaps now, they doh-sey-doh
A sordid tale that's hopelessly twisted
An epic love tale? I don't think so
They don't care about pretty daughters
Those cowpokes on PokeBack Mountain
They're gonna take each other for their wives
They don't care about no one's daughter...
If yer lookin' fer a wife
Cuz there are cowpokes on Pokin' Back Mountain
Who have adopted an alternate life
Chorus:
Their hardened hips are rougher than cowhide
Love on the mountain they want to share
The birds and the bees on PokeBack Mountain
They have given up in dispair
Two cowboys dream on Pokin' Back Mountain
One is Roy Rogers and one is Dale
And they go riding into the sunset
They teach old Trigger how to swish his tail
Their hardened hips are tougher than jerky
Love on the mountain they want to share
The birds and the bees on Pokin back Mountain
They have given up in dispair
The gals are safe on Pokin Back Mountain
They're not wanted, and that's a fact
No need to hide your lovely daughter
When there are two guys in a bedsack
"Gone with the Wind", just eat yer heart out
They're rubbin' chaps now, they doh-sey-doh
A sordid tale that's hopelessly twisted
An epic love tale? I don't think so
They don't care about pretty daughters
Those cowpokes on PokeBack Mountain
They're gonna take each other for their wives
They don't care about no one's daughter...

delightful..i especially like the tail swishin' line
Another great mountin' parody..555
Yee haw! 555
OM definitely deserves another poke... In addition to alvin's cite, I also esp. liked Roy/Dale. 555, and thanks for the mention.
Chuckle. 5s
Lots of wonderful lines here. Esp. liked "the birds and bees giving up in despair" though. Oh, and the "rubbin' chaps" was a great double entendre and...oh, what the hell, the whole thing was great. 555
Dale Rogers might be turning over in her grave, but this is clever. What everybody else said, plus kudos for the well placed "tougher than jerky" metaphor.
Thanks to all for the comments.
