Bo Vandenberg Song Challenge: Barbie Seagull? (16) RE: SONG CHALLENGE: Barbie Seagull? 15 Jul 04


I don't know if anyone knows this cowboy tune but here goes...
To the tune of 'Pecos Bill'


Peg leg Martha was a Seagull out of Turkey
A special amputated avian at large
For though her leg was made of plastic
All her scrounging was fantastic
She ate more than any Seagull on the Barge

               Oh Yippee Yi Yay, Yippee Yi Yull
               For the Toughest Seagull West of Istanbul!

Once her foot had been a lacerated nightmare
So to save her life the Vet had cut it off
But did that drive this Birdy Barmy?
No, she stole a leg from Barbie,
And went home to beg some french-fries on the Dock!

               Oh Yippee Yi Yay, Yippee Yi Yull
               For the Toughest Seagull West of Istanbul!

Now the tourists on the yacht all look for Martha
And the headlines say she's running very well
She gets scraps before the others
'For her sisters and her brothers
She's the only Bird with limbs made by Mattel!

               Oh Yippee Yi Yay, Yippee Yi Yull
               For the Toughest Seagull West of Istanbul!

               Oh Yippee Yi Yay, Yippee Yi Yull
               For the Toughest Seagull West of Istanbul!



                                           Sigurd
