Priceless Antique Pistol Shoots Startled Owner Songtext

Yodilay, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo
Yodilay, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo
Yodilay, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo
Yodilay, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo

Inspect the silver inlay and the finely engraved steel
Rich carved ivory grips with checkered lines that you can feel
You′ll find it prematured who call the caliber obsolete
When olden-time design and modern treacherousness meet

It's a curio that′s slipped between our current laws as read
Priceless as an artifact but leaves you just as dead
Craftsmanship like this is not displayed much anymore
And there ain't too many gangsters shooting Russian .44


Yodilay, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo
Yodilay, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo

To think a learned chronicler like you would be the one
Whose eye for detail failed to see him dusting of your gun
Well, you must be the first in 90 years to meet his death
By way of antique archaic black powder pistol's breath

Despite your recent injuries you must admit that still
It remains an elegant and stylish way to kill
Yes, despite my injuries, good sir, I cannot lie
It remains an elegant and stylish way to die

Yodilay, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo
Yodilay, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo
Yodilay, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo
Yodilay, yodolo-hoo-hoo, yodolo-hoo-hoo
