WHEN IT'S DUDETIME IN THE ROCKIES

(May be warbled to Springtime in the Rockies)

Now it's Dudetime in the Rockies,
And the dudes are coming fast,
With their waders and their fly rods,
Oh, they dream of perfect cast.

In their RV's and their trailers,
They are clogging up the roads,
Oh, they park their rigs on Main street,
And wear shoes with open toes.

And they all have little dogies
That they carry like a purse,
Or they lead big German Shepherds,
My, it's hard to say what's worse.

Oh, it's dudetime in the Rockies,
And they're coming back this way,
All the travelers from the cities,
With their credit cards they'll pay.

And they love to spend their time at
A dude ranch far from town,
Where the horsies all are gentle,
And the saddles soft as down.

And the wranglers smile to see them
In their funny riding clothes,
For they wear their chaps with nothing,
Leaving birthday suits exposed.

When the tourists come in springtime,
They'll be coming here to play,
Once again we'll say we love them,
While their money flows our way.

And we'll wave good-bye in autumn,
For we're glad they didn't stay,
When it's dudetime in the Rockies,
In the Rockies far awayyyy.

The East's answer is, of course, Jon Campbell's brilliant "Winnebacome, Winnebago."

this sounds like it goes with "Favorite things"
(is that from the sound of Music?)

WINNEBACOME, WINNEBAGO
(Jon Campbell)

Come summer, they flock to the beaches and docks
They've got brown vinyl sandals and black nylon socks.
They've a red peeling nose and synthetic clothes
And from June to September it's anything goes
    Where's my flipflop? Where's the gift shop?
    Are you feeling sad?
    Winnebacome, Winnebago
    Clam cakes and chowder and stuffies to go,
    There's a slick on the bay of Ban de Soleil
    And Labor Day weekend seems light-years away.

They're out fishing for flats wearing Budweiser hats
They got a new Boston Whaler with a cooler up in back,
Well they go for a spin, loaded on gin,
And get stuck hard aground till the tide comes back in.
    There'll be gridlock at the town dock
    Are you feeling sad?
    Winnebacome, Winnebago
    It's a long rainy weekend with no place to go
    There's a red tide today and a shark in the bay
    And Labor Day weekend seems light-years away.

    When the flea bites, jellyfish stings, are you feeling sad?
    Watch a mobster eat a lobster, are you feeling sad?

They've got sand in their eyes and a burn on their thighs
And the last tuna grinder is covered with flies,
There's a squid in the sink, the TV's on the blink
They've a bucket of crabs that's beginning to stink.
    Citronella, beach umbrella, are you feeling sad?
    Well, it's Winnebacome, Winnebago
    There's no place to park anyplace that you go,
    So let's count license plate from the Midwestern states
    And hope after Labor Day things will get straight...
    And hope after Labor Day things will get straight...
