The Lyrics
(Screw it, Dave, I don't think I should do this parody)
[Below Average Dave: Come on, why not?]
(People might not appreciate the research I put into this, you know?)
[Below Average Dave: Ah, but that's AmIRight!]
Jam on!
Let's talk about Tex, baby
Let's talk about history
Let's talk about the singing cowboy
What I learned from the Wiki
Let's talk about Tex, let's talk about Tex, let's talk about Tex
Let's talk about Tex, he's word!
When he raised at home had a name like a nerd
They had called him Maurice Woodward
There's no surprise, all eyes, he tried to change his first name
'Cause how else will he get fame?
So he became Tex on the radio and video shows
His film debut--Song Of The Gringo
Grand National Pictures, twelve movies graded 'B'
Made his own cowboy singer flicks, I'm told 40
Capitol Records had made him their choice
So he did "Jingle Jangle Jingle" for a radio hit
Did he stop there folks? No he didn't!
Top 5 Hits--he got seven!
Let's talk about Tex, baby
Let's talk about history
Let's talk about the singing cowboy
What I learned from the Wiki
Let's talk about Tex, let's talk about Tex, let's talk about Tex
Made a spot in country, but not in pop
Made records since the '20s, but never got hot
But came "High Noon (Don't Forsake Me Oh My Darlin')"
The tune was a hit, Oscar trophy callin'
Do-Ro-Thy Fay his betroth-ed
Woman that he adored, she was most uncommon
These mates on the slate sired two greats
Thomas and John (yeah, the guy from Three's Company!)
Sad for Thomas, he had cerebral palsy
So Tex, he put through a charity or two
It seems that Tex survived, was nothing he couldn't do
Tex goes down in history, became an honoree
Got in for free, with glee, Grand Ole Opry
Rappin' 'bout this guy wasn't so bad
Yes, love, it's Tex, why the heck's he's not more well-known?
He deserves a throne!
Let's talk about Tex, baby
Let's talk about history
Let's talk about the singing cowboy
What I learned from the Wiki
Let's talk about Tex, let's talk about Tex, let's talk about Tex
Cowpokes, all the cowpokes--yee-haw now, help me out!
Come on, all the cowpokes, let's talk about Tex--YEE-HAWW!
(Yo Dave, there's no way they would even play this on the radio)
[Below Average Dave: And why not?]
(I mean, even if he didn't write a rap tune about safe sex and female empowerment...
Come on, how many folks you know would care?)

Educational Aggy's at it again!!! 5's for learning about the Singing Cowboy.
I'd rather talk about Tex Avery.
If you want to write a Tex Avery version (before I get one done), be my guest, McKludge! (I warn you, S&P is VERY HARD TO DO!)
I thought you'd made a typo, Ag, and this was going to be about my neighbour, Rex Titter...nevermind, this was cool. I'm having second thoughts about taking on S&P now....555
very educational Ag - this could BE the wikipedia entry on whoever Tex Ritter is - 555
I love the introduction . . .absolutely awesome, and to what is most likely the top SNP song in popularity of all time!
Very intresting... The video had another stanza, but you didn't use and that's okay, this was still pretty impressive, bios are tough to do...
(Artistry) A rap dong about a cowboy? That's random...and that's pure Agri for ya! Yee-haw!
Hey, thanks for the stage name, Kristof. Impressive accomplishment here, Ag.
This was done to a lyric sheet--as an avid SNP fan, I have to say that I could not perform this without altering the backing track
(Artistry) Great pacing and rhyming, Aggy... the topic is a bit lost on me though - I don't remember Tex Ritter. What happened to the third verse?

Youtube has 2 versions of the song, but the longer version had the spoken sections that I could not ignore.
SO DID I
