Once upon a time in a vest

There’s a shoot-out on the bowling green

The pianola’s full of holes

The Man with No Name’s

Got a Zimmer frame 

And a tray of sausage rolls

He’s a High Plains drifter 

Not from round here

The strong and silent type

They practice moves on Skype

At the monthly hoedown

Mornin' On The Desert

Mornin' on the desert, and the wind is blowin' free,
