Powerhouse
And man converted the newspaper to a blanket
Well you have to admit that he's come a long way
Since swinging about in the trees
We're the smartest monkeys
The smartest monkeys
The evidence is all around
Our brains are bigger
This we've found
The smartest monkeys
Well man discovered the park bench can make a transition
And the rubbish tip makes a valid form of nutrition
With discoveries like these
Civilisation agrees
To give itself a pat on the back
We're the smartest monkeys
The evolution's plain
Rodeo Or Mexico
For a change I headed south across the border
For the pesos and a different horse to ride
I'd be back to make the rodeo in Waco
But that was long before I saw them dark brown eyes
With long black hair and English bad and broken
Her body said the words she couldn't find
As I hung on ever word she left unspoken
The question started leaning on my mind
(Chorus:)
RODEO OR MEXICO
THEY BOTH CAN KEEP A COWBOY SATISFIED
RODEO OR MEXICO
THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO DECIDE
IS JUST GET ON AND RIDE
We danced all night beneath that sheet of cotton
And you just don't tell a girl like that goodbye
But the cowboy life ain't easily forgotten
Though lying there I couldn't help but wonder why
(Repeat Chorus:)
RODEO OR MEXICO
THEY BOTH CAN KEEP A COWBOY SATISFIED
RODEO OR MEXICO
THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO DECIDE
IS JUST GET ON AND RIDE
The morning found the answer dawning on me
As I woke up to the sharp end of a knife
He was screaming at the woman hanging on me
Does anybody know the Spanish word for wife?
(Repeat Chorus:)
RODEO OR MEXICO
THEY BOTH CAN KEEP A COWBOY SATISFIED
RODEO OR MEXICO
THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO DECIDE
IS JUST GET ON AND RIDE
