HOPPY, GENE, AND ME
Roy Rogers

It seems like only yesterday
That we rode the range together
An' prairie skies and tumbleweeds
Just as far as we could see
Then - you grew up and drifted on (laugh-hah!)
But I know that you remember
When you were a saddle pal
To Hoppy, Gene and Me.

Freckle-faced and skinned up knees
You helped us fight the bad guys
With a five-cent bag of popcorn
And a cap gun by your side
You know time has a way of changing things
Soon there was your first love,
You thought it would last forever
But when she left, you cried.

But, Hoppy, Gene and me
We taught you how to shoot straight
And a cowboy never cries
That's how it had to be
Just stories from the Silver Screen
Now most have been forgotten
Double-feature Saturday
With Hoppy, Gene and Me

At last you found your real true love
And now you look so happy
Is that your little cowpoke
You're bouncin' on your knee?
Well, the prairie sky is just as blue
And life is like a re-run
Just like you, he'll be a saddle pal
To Hoppy, Gene and Me.

Hoppy, Gene and me
We taught you how to shoot straight
You were gonna be a cowboy
That's how it had to be
Just stories from the Silver Screen
Now most of them forgotten
Double-feature Saturday
With Hoppy, Gene and Me.

Yodel: fade...
