Chapter 19

Ginny's Country-and-Western Song

(to a drawling beat and twang)


       Manhattan Rodeo

I never been to Dollywood,
...I just never felt the call.

I don't drink rot-gut whisk-key,
...I ain't like that at-tall.

I always ride in taxicabs,
...and sometimes limosines.

But I'm still a true blue country gal
...'Spite 'a the way it seems.


You don't gotta be in the country,
To be Country don't ya know.
I'm a gen-u-wine Uptown cowgirl queen
in a Manhattan rodeo.


I never wore my cowgirl hat,
...To a formal chair-tee ball.

I live in a highrise 'partment house,
...with Eye-talians down the hall.

I goes with fancy rich kids,
...to a fancy rich kid's school.

My cousins ain't got rickets,
...and my daddy, he don't drool.


You don't gotta be in the country,
To be Country don't ya know.
I'm a gen-u-wine Eastside cowgirl queen
in a Manhattan rodeo.


I don't flip folks the Fing-ger,
...and go to bars to fight

I ain't gotta LadySmith '38
...with handgrip laser sight.

I don't got no plastic Jesus,
...on the dashboard of my car.

I never seen 'Jerry Springer',
...nor think that he's a star.


You don't gotta be in the country,
To be Country don't ya know.
I'm a gen-u-wine Society cowgirl queen
in a Manhattan rodeo.


I once rode me a pon-ny,
...I think his name was Wayne.

I love hear-rin' a KYE-oat call,
...n' the whistle of a train.

I'll always stand there, by my man,
...that's the Country way to be

But if he tomcats 'round at all,
...well -- He won't be kissin' me.


You don't gotta be in the country,
To be Country don't ya know.
I'm a gen-u-wine New York cowgirl queen
in a Manhattan rodeo.


I think ig-nore-RANCE is stupid,
...and also just plain dumb.

I'll be an IM-portant lawyer,
...once I grows-s up some.

I will buy me sever-ral villars,
...at least two just in Spain.

I'll live in London mosta the time,
...n'tour the World, in my plane.


You don't gotta be in the country,
To be Country don't ya know.
I will always be your cowgirl queen
in a Manhattan Rodeo.

I say - - -

I'll still be a rawhide cowgirl queen
in a Manhattan Rodeo.
