The Lyrics
Everyone's building the skyscrapers and the bridges across the borders which are vast
Some folks are buidling memorials to the fallen while others scrape
out their shady pasts
Everyone is so despondent
Every man, woman and child towing the line
But when Walker the Cowboy gets here
Everyone's gonna dance for joy!
Come on and take without
Come on and take within
You've seen nothing like the Unshakable Walker!
I like to keep things simple like 9 out of 10 people do
But so much spin and fluff from the newsrooms and boardrooms
Well, it's not my scene, as if you need a clue.
Come on and take without
Come on and take within
You've seen nothing like the Unshakable Walker!
Everyone is underneath their umbrellas in the park
They're feeding the squirrels peanuts and corn
But when Herbie Walker the Cowboy gets here
All the squirrels will run to him and sound the horn!
Come on and take without
Come on and take within
You've seen nothing like the Unshakable Walker!
A hair of dog and eye of newt, I can throw words with the best of 'em
Just tell me what the public needs to know
Then I'll make some phone calls
No one living along the Beltway can sleep
There's someone breathing down someone else's neck
But when Walker the Cowboy gets here, heck
Everyone will love him and follow him like sheep.
Come on and take without
Come on and take within
--EVERYBODY-- You've seen nothing like the Unshakable Walker!
Come on and take without
Come on and take within
--EVERYONE-- You've seen nothing like the Unshakable Walker!
When Walker the Cowboy gets here from the airport and into town
Everyone will love him and follow him like sheep.
