Joe Dassin - Yellowstone Cowbear lyrics

Hey, look at me
I'm a dancing bear in a bow to a gypsy king
He taught me everything I know and
He plays a mean tambourine
And he got a gold ring in his ear
I got a brass one in my nose
For any mother's son
For any mamma's cub way it goes

Now, I like my life, that's all I know
There's nothing that I lack
So why do I do dream of the bark of a tree
To scratch my back and figure out
Why I groove on a rainbow trout?

Dreams, dreams, dreams, recurring dreams
Hmmm, why do I have these dreams?
Right foot in and right foot out
Hmmm that's what it's all about - dreams
Dreams

I watch the world go buy through
The bars of my mobile home
Why ain't I satisfied
What do you mean by "Yellowstone"?
Now, he's got a foulard made of
Silk, I got a collar, i got a chain
But he drives our car and he pays my bills
And I only dance when it doesn't rain

Like any bear I've ever seen
Midways that I was raised
But why do I dream of a sweet running stream
So cold and waiting? Tell me why
I get so sleepy in the wintertime?

Dreams, dreams, dreams, recurring dreams
Ohmm, why do I have these dreams?
Put your left foot in and your left foot out
Hmm, baby
That's what it's all about - dreams

Dreams

Now, he's got a lunch box, I got a pail
I climb a ladder, he plays the drum
He got a moustache, I got a tail
We're just doing like we always done

Two steps is all I know
Two steps is okay by me
But why all these dreams of rolling 'round
On daisy greens? I got no clue
Just this feeling of deja vu
Dreams, dreams, dreams, recurring dreams
Hmmmm, why do I have these dreams?
Right foot in and right foot out
Hmmm, that's what it's all about - dreams

I'm a Yellowstone cowbear

That's why

Yeah!

Rrrrrrrrrgh!
