Lyrics

Well Long-Eared Drifter riding 'cross the plain
Nobody'd ever seen him, nobody knew his name
When he stormed into town and reached for some filtered water
And some carrot nibblers
Well, a pretty little filly stopped the stranger and she said
"Step into my saloon and rest your weary head"
But the stranger just shook his head and said, "I'll have a nicoise salad
'Cause there's good carbs and bad carbs and every cowboy knows
The carbs from fruits and vegetables will help you fit your clothes
Speakin' of which I'm gonna need some more carrot nibblers"
Then he saw Black Bart standing in the sunrise
He had gristle in his teeth and diabetes in his eyes
He said "Bart, you and me's gonna square off over a yogurt parfait"
But Bart scooped up the woman, and he took off ridin' hard
He took her to a taco stand that makes everything with lard
He ordered sixteen tacos made with bullets, beef and flour
He said "Girl, you're gonna eat these even if it takes an hour"
Well, that's when that old stranger came a-ridin' up fast
He dismounted his pony and took a shot of wheat grass
"This taco party's over," said the stranger with a drawl
"You eat that junk, you'll jack up your bad cholesterol
And one more thing buddy, you forgot your parfait"
As when you're fightin' evil every healthy cowboy knows
You gotta keep your blood sugar from gettin' too low
'Cause if you don't you better know, Joe
You’re gonna get real sleepy
Well, Bart just laughed and said "I don't need that trash
I live on steak and ice-cream and corned beef hash
And I'd mow you down right now if I wasn't feeling so sluggish"
The stranger pushed that parfait towards him and he stared Bart down
And a hush and a chill fell across the town
And everybody froze as Bart reached
And took a bite of his parfait
Well Bart’s cheeks got rosy and his hair regained its sheen
He said "It’s my sugar intake that's been making me so mean
Speaking of which stranger won't you share some of those carrot nibblers?"
And now two cowboys ride across that dusty land
Vanquishing darkness and eatin' oat bran
And one thing you better understand, man
They hardly ever get sleepy
They also enjoy stir-fry
They carefully control their portions
And they keep food journals
And they share their nibblers
Healthy Cowboys
