Yellowstone Cowbear Songtext
von Joe Dassin

Hey, look at me, I′m a dancing bear
And I 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 momma′s cub
Way it goes

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


Dreams, dreams, dreams
Recurrent dreams
Why do I have these dreams
Right foot in
And right foot out
That′s what it′s all about
Dreams
Dreams

I watch the world go by
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've 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
Midway′s where I was raised
But why do I dream
Of sweet running streams
So cool to wade and
Tell me why
I get so sleepy in wintertime


Dreams, dreams, dreams
Recurrent dreams
Oh, why do I have these dreams
Put your left foot in
And your left foot out
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 just doing like we always done

Two steps is all I knew
Two steps′s okay by me
But why all these dreams
Of rolling around
On daisy greens
I got no clue
Just this feeling of déjà vu

Dreams, dreams, dream
Recurrent dreams
Why do I have these dreams
Right foot in
And my right foot out
That's what it′s all about
Dreams

I'm a Yellowstone cowbear
That′s why
Yeah
