Lyrics
You don't need a steed to be a cowboy,
No
You're not a hero just by galloping off in the sun
What you really need to be a cowboy,
Fearless, keeping bandits tremblin' on the run
Is a Red Ryder Carbine Action BB Gun!
See me standing guard up at my window
I'll protect my neighborhood so outlaws are always outgunned
And I'll bombard them from that window
Show those weasels
How the
Wild west was won
BANG BANG
With a Red Ryder Carbine Action BB Gun
'Cause Randy could be kidnapped by a pack of goons
Our house might be invaded by raccoons
A tiger could escape the zoo and try to rip Miss Shields in two
But she would be okay
I swoop in and save the day
And the girls would sigh and say, "Oh, Ralphie!"
When you're big and brave like me, no bully can ever make fun
And kids are crying, "Cowboy Ralphie!"
While my old man's shouting, "That boy, he's my son"
With a Red Ryder carbine action BB gun
But it's almost nearly getting close to counting down
The clock is set
Don't know how
Don't know who
But all I know's I gotta get a
Red Ryder Carbine
Stock with a compass
Red Ryder Carbine action BB Gun
