Come along with me to the Congo land   Got a zebra by the tail and a python in my hand   Once my home was a Texas plain   But now I swing a lasso on an alien terrain      Hottentons and pygmies know where to go   Everybody's heading for the Watusi Rodeo      Cowboys are putting up a big fence around   A sacred elephant burial ground   Native women stomping up a flurry in the mud   Villagers are looking for some cowboy blood (Blood!)      I guess they didn't like them hats we made 'em wear   They don't look right on the native hair   Don't they don't it's all for show   All for showing at the Watusi Rodeo      Monkeys in the trees just thumbing their nose   At the bull-riders riding on rhinos   Warriors standing with spears in the hands   Wondering what's next from a crazy white man      Natives are restless under these Stetsons   What are these cowboys doing in the Congo   Look like cows but they're water buffaloes   Ropin' and a riding in the Watusi Rodeo   Oh they look like cows but they're water buffaloes   Everybody's heading for the Watusi Rodeo
