Deadeye Dan (feat. Randy Bender, Sarah Carlson, Janet Higbee, Hannah Lessly & Kelsey Higbee)

Deadeye Dan
Sung by Dan
Cue: "Bessie, we've met a skeptic. Let's give her a preview of our show!"

I'm Deadeye Dan, I'm a Wild West man,
I'm as sure with a Colt as a poker hand,
I kin wrangle up a steer or a grizzly bear...
you best watch yourself when you catch my stare...

(music vamp as Dan struts around eyeing audience members)

Bessie: Oh... this is the part I get so tired of.

Ma: (after a pause) What's he doin'?

Bessie: (sarcastically) Oh he's givin' everybody the "Deadeye"

Ma: Well why's he walking like that?

Bessie: He calls that his "six-gun swagger"

Ma: (pause) Looks more like he sat in some cactus...

(music stops, Dan turns upstage to look toward Ma)

Rosie: He gives me goosebumps!

(Dan smiles, tips hat to Rosie, delivers next verse straight to her, getting very close)

(music kick in)

I'm Deadeye Dan, I'm a Wild West man,
I can win a fight-- or a pretty girl's hand,
I got a strong lasso and my very own brand...

(Dan makes eyes at Rosie as the music vamps... Ma begins to beeline toward the two, Dan notices and splits away left delivering the next line of the song)

I ride off into the West and make a brand new plan...

See the West isn't just a direction or a place,
it's a grit in yer teeth and a scowl on yer face...
I take this stage as a man on trial,
You can judge me true with a frown or a smile!
Just DON'T call me a liar...
Deadeye Dan set the West on fire!

(music stops abruptly as Dan goes into a spoken clarification of what he means)
Dan: Unless you're talking about that, uh, blaze back in '78... now I was nowhere near that barn when...

(music kicks in)

I'm Deadeye Dan, I'm a Wild West man,
as wise inside as old Solomon,
a wisdom wrung from this lawless land...

(music vamps)

Dan: (spoken) Uhm... are there any Lawmen here tonight? You know, Deadeye Dan's always ready to support our public servants with a 50 cent discount!

(music kicks in)

So be sure to catch Deadeye Dan!
Deadeye Dan! Deadeye Dan!

Dan: (spoken as music wraps up) Three nights only! A dollar'll git you in the door!
