I Wanna Be A Cowboy - Boys Don't Cry, 1986
Riding on the range
I've got my hat on
I've got my boots dusty
I've got my saddle
On my horse.
He's called....T-t-t-t-t-trigger
Of course
I wanna be a cowboy and you can be my cowgirl I wanna be a cowboy and you can be my cowgirl I wanna be a cowboy (woman's voice) Riding on the chuck wagon Following my man. His name is Ted, Can you believe that? Camping on the prairie Plays havoc with my hair Makes me feel quite dirt Though we all do sometimes I wanna be a cowboy and you can be my cowgirl I wanna be a cowboy and you can be my cowgirl I wanna be a cowboy Looking like a hero Six-gun at my side Chewing my tobacco Out on the horizon I see a puff of smoke Indians on the warpath (White man speaking with forked tongue) Or not I wanna be a cowboy and you can be my cowgirl I wanna be a cowboy My name is Ted
And one day I'll be dead yo yo
--- Hailing from Britain, Boys Don't Cry took their name from a line of lyrics whispered in the 10CC hit song, I'm Not In Love, from 1975. The phrase "big boys don't cry" is repeated 7 times. In 1997, they sued Paula Cole and her record company over her hit "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" She apparently used the phrase, "I wanna be a cowboy" 24 times...considering the band's name, you'd think they'd have a better sense of humour about it. Check out the hilarious production values in their Video.
