We are the three Amigos
We are the three Amigos
Over the mountains,
Across the plains
The three brave Amigos are we
Stamping out evil
‘Til none remains
The brave Amigos
The three brave Amigos
Wherever they need us,
Our destinies lead us
Amigos
We’re always together
And wherever we go,
We’re three brave Amigos
And we’ll be
Amigos forever
We are the three Amigos
We are the three Amigos
We are the three Amigos
And Amigos forever we’ll be
Dear little buttercup
With your eyes so blue
Oh little buttercup
You’ re a dream come true
You and I will settle down in a cottage built for two
Oh, dear little buttercup, I love you
Everybody!
My little buttercup
Has the sweetest smile
Dear little buttercup
Won’t you stay awhile
You and I will settle down in a cottage built for two
Dear little buttercup
Sweet little buttercup,
My little buttercup
I love you
Blue shadows on the trail
Little cowboy
Close your eyes and dream
All of the doggies are in the corral
All of your work is done
Just close your eyes and dream little pal
Dream of someone
(Horses)
Boom-ba boom-ba boom-ba boom-ba
Boom-ba boom-ba BOOM-ba boom-ba
Boom-ba boom-ba boom-ba boom-ba
Boom-ba boom-ba BOOM-ba boom-ba
Blue shadows on the trail
Soft wind blowing
Through the trees above
All the other little cowboys
Back in the bunkhouse now, so
Close your eyes and dream

Oh!
I could love a million girls and every girl a twin
I could love a chinese girl an eskimo or finn
I could love a german girl a girl with golden curls
In fact I think that I could love about a million girls
I Loved a girl whose eyes shone forth just like a crystal mask
I loved her till I found out that her eye was made of glass
I loved a girl whose form it was a gorgeous thing to see
I loved her till I found out that part of it was a tree
Oh!
He could love a million girls a million girls could he
He could love a native girl from far accross the sea
He could love a million girls a girl with baby curls
In fact I think that he could love about a million girls
Staying out late
Every night
Chasing after streetcars
And getting into fights
Yeah
Son you’re bound
To break your mama’s heart
Unless you change your way
All the teachers
At the school there
They know you well
‘Cause you’re always
The worst one
You’re always playing the fool
I can tell
What’s the matter with you little guy
Don’t you know
Take my advice
Before you do
Something bad you’d better
Think about it twice
You’re sure to end up on the shady side
Unless you change
Your
Way
He knows how hard we’re trying
He hears the babies crying
He sees the old folks dying
He gives us all his love
He gives us all his love
He gives us all his love
He’s smiling down on us
From up above
And he’s giving us all his love
Now if you need someone to talk to
You can always talk to him
And if you need someone to lean on
You can lean on him
He gives us all his love
He gives us all his love
He’s smiling down on us
From up above
And he’s giving us all his love
He knows how hard we’re trying
He hears the babies crying
He sees the old folks dying
He gives us all his love
He gives us all his love
He gives us all his love
He’s smiling down on us
From up above
And he’s giving us all his love
Now if you need someone to talk to
You can always talk to him
And if you need someone to lean on
You can lean on him
He gives us all his love
He gives us all his love
He’s smiling down on us
From up above
And he’s giving us all his love
