Yellow Rose Of Texas

 
 
FREBERG: YeeeeeeeeYaaaaaawwwww, Don't let me startle you, I'm just doin' a rebel yell heah to kinda kick things off, Ya know what I mean?

FREBERG: (SINGING) There's a yellow rose in Texas 
That i am going to see
Nobody else could miss her
Not half as much as me
She cried so when I left - pardon me
That's just a shade loud on the snare drum
CHORUS: She's the sweetest little rosebud
 That Texas ever knew
 Her eyes are bright as diamonds
 They sparkle like the dew (SNARE DRUM DROWNS OUT SINGERS)
FREBERG: See now you covered up sparkle like the dew
  One of the loveliest parts in the whole -
FREBERG: (SINGING) Texas is the only girl for me

INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE

FREBERG: He covered up the piccolos there
Where the Rio Grand - (SNARE DRUM DROWNS OUT SINGERS)
Where the Rio (SNARE DRUM)
Where (SNARE DRUM)
W - (SNARE DRUM)
See my feeling is that uh, while I love a good snare (SNARE DRUM) drum, I feel that volume wise it's just a little bit too much what you're doing there. 
See? 
See, see what I mean? 
Now you try and hold it there. 
I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
FREBERG: (SINGING) Where the Rio Grand (I appreciate it)
Where the Rio Grand is flowing
And starry skies (oh that's better)
She walks along the river
On the quiet (oh that's so much better)
I know that she remembers
When we parted long ago
(You know that there's just a world of difference, mercy)
CHORUS: She's the sweetest little rosebud
That Texas ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew (SNARE DRUM DROWNS OUT SINGERS)
FREBERG: See now you're slipping back into your old habits again. 
Why do you do that. Why do you -
FREBERG:  Texas is the only girl for me!
I love a good snare drum but, you know - hold it hold it hold it.
People people let's go back there, the snare drummer 
covered up the tra-la-las. We just do it again, smart aleck.
CHORUS: Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Laaa-Laaaaa-Laaaaa
FREBERG: You see how lovely that turned out? Now that's a darling part.
OK banjo...yug-dugga-dugga. That's purty. That's purty.
Oh now I'm gonna (that's purty)
For my heart is full of woe
We'll do the thangs together
We did so long ago
We'll play the banjo gaily
She'll love me like (BANJO DROWN OUT FREBERG)
Excuse me, you ain't any kin to the snare drummer, are you?
CHORUS: She's the sweetest little rosebud
That Texas ever knew (SNARE DRUM DROWNS OUT SINGERS)
FREBERG: Why do you do that? Why do you burst out like that? It irritates me.
That irritates me. That irritates me, that's all.
But the yellow rose of Texas - (SNARE DRUM DROWNS OUT SINGERS)
HOLD ON! HOLD ON! Hold on you smart aleck Yankee drummer you!
You can cover up yellow, and you can cover up rose, Buddy Buddy,
but don't you cover up TEXAS! Or I'll stick your head through that
cotton-pickin snare drum and secede from the band so help me
Mitch Miller I will!
CHORUS: And the yellow rose of Texas will be mine forever more.
(THE SONG IS OVER BUT THE SNARE DRUM CONTINUES TO PLAY)
FREBERG: Cut it off there. The record's over, you idiot. Stop it,
stop it I say. Just stop it, stop it. I'm getting out of here
(DOOR SLAMMING). He ruined the ending, one of the loveliest parts
in the whole (DOOR OPENS, DRUMMER STILL POUNDING AWAY, DOOR SLAMS)
piece!
