Now I'm gonna teach you folks a brand new song I wrote
and I want ya all to join in with me and sing because this is about one of my favourite, all time people, and that's the coyote.

The story goes like this.

Coyote's a survivor, I reckon he's got to be.
He lives in the snow at 40 below or Malibu by the sea.
An' I'm just an old cow puncher, I love to listen to his tune.
Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote get's drunk on the moon.
(try 'er gang)
Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote get's drunk on the moon.
(fantastic. try the whole verse all together now)

Well the cowboy is a conundrum, a contridiction in this age,
Well he says he's doin' fine on the poverty line with a workin' cowboy's wage.

The whiskey bottle cost 13 bucks, the big perry moon is free.
So who is the dumber son of a bitch? The little coyote or me?
Yeh, who is the dumber son of a bitch? The little coyote or me? (take it)

* LEAD BREAK

So with thoughts of re-incarnation well I drifted off to dream.
I made it for life with a coyote wife and a bushy-tailed coyote queen.
Way down in the valley, at the old long noose saloon,
The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye, we got drunk on the moon.
The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye, we got drunk on the moon.
Everybody Take it home

Coyote's a survivor, I reckon he's got to be.
He lives in the snow at 40 below or Malibu by the sea.
An' I'm just an old cow puncher, I love to listen to his tune.
Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote get's drunk on the moon.
(try 'er gang)
Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote get's drunk on the moon.
