Mr. Custer

That famous day in history

The men of the seventh Cavalry went riding on

And from the rear a voice was heard

A brave young man with a trembling word rang loud and clear

What am I doin' here?

Please, Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go

Hey, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go

I had a dream last night about the comin' fight

Somebody yelled "Attack!"

And there I stood with the arrow in my back

Please, Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go

(Forward ho!)

No

Look at them bushes out there

They're moving and there's an Injun behind every one

Hey, Mr. Custer, you mind if I be excused the rest of the afternoon?

Hey Charlie, duck your head!

Hm, you're a little bit late on that one, Charlie

Hoo-hoo, I bet that smarts!

They were sure of victory

The men of the seventh Cavalry, as they rode on

But then from the rear a voice was heard

That same brave voice with the trembling word, rang loud and clear

What am I doin' here?

Please, Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go

Listen, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go

There's a redskin awaitin' out there, just fixin' to take my hair

A coward I've been called 'cause I don't want to wind up dead or bald

Please, Mr. Custer, I don't want to go (forward ho!) No

I wonder what the Injun word for friend is

See, friend

Kemo sabe, that's it

Kemo sabe! Hey out there, kemo sabe!

Nope, that isn't it

Look at them all dirty

They're runnin' around like a bunch of wild Indians

Nah, this ain't no time for jokin'
