Go West, Young Man
 作词 : Bert Kalmar/Harry Ruby
 作曲 : Bert Kalmar/Harry Ruby

Before you go to buffalo
To baltimore or borneo
To eastern pennsylvania or soudan

Go west young man

If you go to that land sonny
You will have a lot of money
If you bring the money with you
When you come to the lone prairie

Yippi yi yippi yi
Yippi yi yi yi
Yippi yi yippi yi yippi yi

Before you read a travel ad
And scamper off to trinidad
Too often in New York and yucatan

Go west young man

In the east they live on doughnuts
In the west the natives grow up
And I guarantee you go nuts
If you come to the lone prairie
Yippi yay yippi yay
Yippi yay yay yay
Yippi yi yippi yi yippi yi

Go west young man

Go where the airport's tearing the chest
Young man

You can ride a bucking pronco or a pony

You can cut a calf in half and make baloney

Go west young man

Go right up there
And give 'em the very best you can

Don't go north don't go south
Don't go east have a care
Don't go up don't go down
Don't go here don't go there

If you are fond of hunting
There's no place that can compare

You may not bag a lion or a tiger or a bear

But if you want a jack ass
There are plenty of them there
Go west young man

In sunny California
When the clouds are breaking loose

And you complain about the rain
They give you this excuse

It isn't raining
When you know it's raining orange juice
Go west young man

The judges there are very fair
They always are of course

A cowboy and his Mrs
Went to court for a divorce

The cowboy got the children
And the Mrs got the horse
Go west young man
Go out and till the soil there
Dig for gold and you'll find oil there
Where the snow flies as the crow flies
Go west red hall

If there is a cattle shortage
Which can happen like it's not

And they can't find a hunk of meat
To chuck into the pot

They sit around and beef
About the beef they haven't got
Go west young man
