The Vandals - Play That Country Tuba, Cowboy lyrics

Play that country tuba, cowboy Play that country tuba, cowboy Play that country tuba, play that country tuba Play that country tuba, cowboy Well musicians' stories have made the rounds About traveling bands in red-neck towns But for tuba players this has got to be a first This one starts like they all do I'd been traveling hard for a day or two And I stopped into this joint to quench my thirst Up walked this big mountain man Said, "What'cha got there? A garbage can?" And I said, "Excuse me, that's my tuba, if you please." He said "Great play a country song So me and my buddies can sing along" And I told him I only play with symphonies He slammed his fist and spit out his beer And his body language made it very clear This wasn't going to be just another B-flat day That's when he co*ked his thirty-odd-six And boy, I let out with some country licks I'd never thought I'd hear my tuba play Play that country tuba, cowboy Play that country tuba, cowboy Play that country tuba, play that country tuba Play that country tuba, cowboy Well after a while I ran outta air And I figured I'd better get out of there So I grabbed my horn and headed for the door Just about then I felt a la**o Wrapped around me and my tuba too And they yanked me back and 'ey hollered "More man more!" Play that country tuba, cowboy Play that country tuba, cowboy Play that country tuba, play that country tuba Play that country tuba, cowboy
