Cow Cow Boogie - Ella Mae Morse

Ella Mae Morse, with Freddie Slack and His Orchestra, singing "Cow Cow Boogie" in this soundie from the 1940's.

Out on the plains down near Santa Fe
I met a cowboy ridin the range one day
And as he jogged along I heard him singin
The most peculiar cowboy song
It was a ditty, he learned in the city
Comma ti yi yi yea
Comma ti yippity yi yea

Now get along, get hip little doggies
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, get hip little doggies
He trucked em on down the old fairway
Singin his cow cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yea
Comma ti yippity yi yea

(chorus)

Singin his cowboy song
He's just too much
He's got a knocked out western accent with a Harlem touch
He was raised on locoweed
He's what you call a swing half breed
Singin his cow cow booogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yea
Comma ti yippity yi yea

(repeat chorus)
