1
Across the alley from the Alamo
2
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
3
Who sang a sort of Indian "Hi-de-ho"
4
To the people passin' by
5
The pinto spent his time a-swishin' flies
6
And the Navajo watched the lazy skies
7
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes
8
On the people passin' by
9
One day they went a-walkin'
10
Along the railroad track
11
They were swishin', not a-lookin'
12
Toot! Toot! They never came back
13
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
14
When the summer sun decides to settle low
15
A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho"
16
To the people passing by
17
Across the alley from the Alamo
18
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
19
Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough
20
For the people passing by
21
They thought that they would make some easy bucks
22
By washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux
23
A pair of very conscientious clucks
24
To the people passin' by
25
Then they took this cheap vacation
26
Their shoes were polished bright
27
No, they never heard the whistle
28
Toot! Toot! They're clear out of sight
29
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
30
When the starlight beams its tender glow
31
The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough
32
For the people passin' by
33
One day, they went a walkin'
34
Along the railroad track
35
They were swishin', not a-lookin'
36
Toot! Toot! They never came back
37
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
38
When the summer sun decides to settle low
39
A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho"
40
To the people passin' by
41
Across the alley from the Alamo
