Montana (Live At KCET, Los Angeles/ 1974)

I might be movin' to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental floss

Raisin' it up
Waxin' it down
In a little white box
That I can sell uptown

But by myself I wouldn't have no boss
'Cause I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental floss
Raisin' my lonely
Dental floss

Well, I just might grow me some bees
But I'd leave the sweet stuff
To somebody else

(How 'bout you right over there?)

And then I would keep the wax
And melt it down
Pluck the floss
And swish it around

And I would have me a crop
(Poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo, tanana)
Poo-poo, tanana
And poo-poo, tanana

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a dental floss tycoon
(Whoopie ty-yo ty-ay)

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mental toss flykune
(I wonder what that means)

I'm pluckin' the ol' dental floss
That's growin' on the prairie
Pluckin' the floss
I plucked all day and all night and all afternnon

Oh, I'm ridin' a small tiny horse
His name is Mighty Little
He's a good horse
Even though
He's a bit tricky to strap a big saddle or blanket on anyway
He's a bit tricky to strap a big saddle or blanket on anyway
Well, anyway

I'm pluckin' the ol' dental floss
Even if you're thinking it's a little silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks

I'm gonna find me a horse
Just about this big
And ride him all along the border line

With a pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand

But by myself I wouldn't have no boss
'Cause I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental floss
Raisin' my lonely
Dental floss

Well, I might ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin' in the moonlighty night

(Help me out, Ruth)
(Tweezer glint)

And then I'd
Get a cup of coffee
And give my foot a push
Just me and the pygmy pony
Over by the dental floss bush

And then I might just
(Poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo, tanana)
Jump back on
And ride
Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana

Movin' to Montana soon (a yippy ty-yo ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon (a yippy ty-yo ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon (a yippy ty-yo ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
Movin' to Montana soon
(Watch your sharp when you bang)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yes indeed)
Movin' to Montana soon (yippy ty-yo ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(What's wrong?)
