NOTES:

Some songs don't need to be long.

This tune, along with the phrase "He's the Best in the West and his mother never guessed that he'd ever be the Nest in the West" rattled around inside my head for YEARS. I knew I wanted to complete the song for this CD, so I came up with the lyrics you see here. But it was SO short.

I knuckled down and completed 2 more verses - very witty verses, they filled out the character and were, I must say, quite good.


But when I tried recording them, they just weren't necessary. This song wanted to be short! Enjoy all 30 seconds of it, please.

 

Best in the West- LYRICS

This text will be replaced by the flash music player.

He’s the best in the west
and his mother never guessed
that he’d ever be the best in the west

She was less than impressed
with the fringe leather vest
and the seven-pointed star on his chest

But now he’s tall
He’s tan, he’s so polite
He wears a twenty-gallon hat upon his head

His spurs
Are gold, his teeth are white
He’s got the Rio Grande inside his water bed

He’s the best in the west
and his mother never guessed
that he’d ever be the best in the west
