[Verse 1]
I might be movin' to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of dental floss
Raisin' it up
Waxin' it down
In a little white box
That I can sell uptown
By myself I wouldn't have no boss
But I'd be raisin' my lonely dental floss
Raisin' my lonely dental floss
[Verse 2]
Well I just might grow me some bees
But I'd leave the sweet stuff to somebody else
But then on the other hand I would
Keep the wax
'N melt it down
Pluck some floss
'N swish it aroun'
I'd have me a crop
An' it'd be on top
That's why I'm movin' to Montana
[Refrain]
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a dental floss tycoon, yes I am
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I'm pluckin' the ol' dennil floss
That's growin' on the prairie
Pluckin' the floss!
I plucked all day an' all nite an' all afternoon
I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss
His name is Mighty Little
He's a good hoss
Even though
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Anyway
I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna find me a horse just about this big
An' ride him all along the border line
With a pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand
By myself I wouldn't have no boss
But I'd be raisin' my lonely dental floss
Raisin' my lonely dental floss
Raisin' my lonely dental floss
[Verse 4]
Well I might ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin' in the moon-lighty night
And then I'd get a cuppa cawfee
'N give my foot a push
Just me 'n the pygmy pony
Over by the dental floss bush
'N then I might just
Jump back on
An' ride like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana
[Outro]
