Yeah i’m a deer hunter. How do you do?  
I got this deer hunting, rapping tale for you.  
I’m so excited, it’s my favorite time of year.  
I love to freeze my buns chasing trophy deer.

But don’t clap your hands to the stomping of the feet,  
Cause he’s like me -he can’t keep a steady beat.

I got this great big knife, cause the hunting is my life  
It’s my chance to drink beer and get away from the wife.  
It’s the boys night out acting stupidly.  
Say now, “Baby baby, don’t you think maybe… how bout you and me?”

Well we partied all night, never made it to our bunks  
And I was sitting in the tree stand on the tree dead drunk  
Windmill blowing 45, temp 20 below,  
I was freezing to death, then it started to snow.

So i got down from the tree stand, start heading for the truck.  
And that’s when i seen it there: the 30 point buck!

Well, he was 8 foot tall, weighed 12,000 pounds.  
With every step, there was a shaking on the ground  
He was so beautiful, strutted right out of my dreams.  
He was created by God just for outdoor magazines

Now i’m not much for thinking. No, i don’t do it often.  
But i had an idea: to put that 30 pointer in his coffin.

I shot Bambi’s mom  
then I went and shot all of his little friends  
they looked good to eat  
had enough food to last  
the entire week

Food, glorious food,  
We’re anxious to try it,  
Three banquets a day,  
Our favourite diet!  
Just picture a great big steak,  
Fried, roasted or stewed,  
Oh! Food, wonderful food, marvellous food, glorious food!

There was Johnny McEldoo and McGee and me  
And a couple or two or three went on a spree one day.  
We had a bob or two, which we knew how to blew,  
And the beer and whiskey flew til we all felt gay  
We visited McCann’s, Maclaman’s, Humpty Dan’s  
We then went into Swan’s, our stomachs for to pack.  
We ordered up a feed, which indeed, we did need  
And we finished it with speed, but we still felt slack

Johnny McEldoo turned pale as a Jew,  
As a plate of Irish stew he soon put out of sight  
He shouted out “Encore!” with a roar for some more,  
For he’d never felt before such a keen appetite.  
We ordered eggs and ham, bread and jam, for to cram.  
But him, we couldn’t ram, though we tried our level best  
For everthing they brought, cold or hot, mattered not,  
It went down him like a shot and he still stood the test.

Today’s Friday.  
Today’s Friday.  
Friday’s fish.  
Thursday’s shepherd’s pie.  
Wednesday’s roast beef.  
Tuesday’s soup.  
Monday is washing day.  
Is everybody happy?  
You bet your life we are!

There’s men, everywhere jazz, everywhere booze  
Everywhere life, everywhere joy, everywhere nowadays

I’ve been to:  
Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota,  
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota,  
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma,  
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma,  
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo,  
Tocapillo, Baranquilla, and Perdilla, I’m a killer.

I’ve been everywhere, man.  
I’ve been everywhere, man.  
Crossed the desert’s bare, man.  
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man.  
Of travel I’ve had my share, man.  
I’ve been everywhere.

I got my first real six-string,  
Bought it at the five-and-dime.  
Played it till my fingers bled,  
Was the summer of '69.

Me and some guys from school,  
Had a band and we tried real hard.  
Jimmy quit, Jody got married,  
I shoulda known we’d never get far.

Oh, when I look back now,  
That summer seemed to last forever.  
And if I had the choice,  
Yeah, I’d always wanna be there.  
Those were the best days of my life.

Since Bruce Springsteen,  
Madonna, way before Nirvana,  
There was U2 and Blondie  
Music still on MTV  
Her two kids in high school  
They tell her that she’s not cool  
But she still preoccupied  
With 19, 19, 1985
