Tomorrow’s My Birthday

Tomorrow’s my birthday and I’ll be four

And I won’t have to stay home anymore.

I’ll take down my bank right off my shelf

And I will go out and about by myself.

I’ll buy me a ticket and I’ll take a train

And I’ll go to Texas to ride on the range.

I’ll buy me some boots and a hat, but no toys,

‘Cause I’ll be as big as all the cowboys.

I’ll rope and I’ll ride and I’ll be the best

Of all the cowboys in the world and the West.

And when it gets dark on the cattle drive--

Well, maybe I’ll wait until I am five.
