The Littlest Cowboy Rides Again
Dynamite Adventures: The Littlest Cowboy's Brave Journey
Lyrics
He's got a broomstick horse called Dynamite
Introduction of the little cowboy's toy horse named Dynamite
His very favorite friend
Emphasizing the horse as the cowboy's favorite friend
An old steed about four hands high
Description of the toy horse's size, emphasizing its speed
That runs just like the wind
Highlighting the horse's agility, comparing it to the wind
There's not an outlaw in the badlands
Stating the cowboy's prowess in apprehending outlaws
That he can't apprehend
Emphasizing the cowboy's skill in dealing with outlaws
Whoopie Ti YO the littlest cowboy rides again
Expressing excitement and celebration as the little cowboy rides again
When the other kids are lost in space
Contrasting the little cowboy's imaginative adventures with other kids playing in space-themed toys
in plastic rocket ships
Describing the cowboy's direct confrontation with imaginary bad guys
Well he's meetin' bad guys face to face
Reference to the cowboy carrying a "big iron" or a gun on his hip
With a big iron on his hip
Indicating the cowboy's bravery, unaffected by fear
Fear's a word he's heard but it don't mean a thing to him
Reiterating the fearless nature of the little cowboy
Whoopie Ti Yo the littlest cowboy rides again
Rejoicing in the little cowboy's adventures
(Chorus)
Beginning of the chorus, expressing joy and celebration
Whoopie Ti Yo (Whoopie Ti Yo)
Continuation of the chorus, using joyful exclamations
Whoopie Ti Ya (Whoopie Ti Ya)
Repetition of joyful exclamations in the chorus
Whoopie Ti Yo the littlest cowboy rides again
Reiteration of the little cowboy's triumphant return
There's a cook named mom back at the ranch
Introduction of a character named mom at the ranch
She just don't understand
Highlighting the misunderstanding between mom and the cowboy's lifestyle
That cowboys always wear their hat in the house
Emphasizing the cowboy tradition of wearing hats indoors
And they never wash their hands
Pointing out the cowboy's disregard for hygiene habits like handwashing
They eat beef and beans not squash and greens
Describing the cowboy's preference for a hearty cowboy diet
And don't need tuckin' in
Highlighting the cowboy's independence, not needing to be tucked in
Whoopie Ti Yo the littlest cowboy rides again
Celebrating the little cowboy's return despite the differences with mom
(Key Change)
Indicating a key change in the song
He's got a hat and a badge and a chaw in his jaw
Listing items associated with the cowboy, including a hat, badge, and chewing tobacco
And licorice on his chin
Describing the cowboy's messy eating habits with licorice on his chin
He's kind to ladies and cats and dogs
Portraying the cowboy as kind to various beings but tough on criminals
But he's hard on wanted men
Emphasizing the cowboy's distinction from the flashy rhinestone type
He aint the truck drivin' drug store rhinestone kind
Rejecting the artificiality of some cowboy stereotypes
Cause they're just all pretend
Celebrating the authenticity of the little cowboy's adventures
Whoopie Ti [D]Yo the littlest cowboy rides again
Rejoicing in the little cowboy's return, despite differences with the stereotypical cowboys
Chorus 2x in new key
Repetition of the chorus in the new key
Whoopie Ti Yo (Whoopie Ti YO)
Continuation of the joyful chorus in the new key
Whoopie Ti Ya (Whoopie Ti Ya)
Repetition of joyful exclamations in the chorus
Whoopie Ti Yo the littlest cowboy rides again
Final reiteration of the little cowboy's triumphant return
