Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
(Oh, it's funky!)
(But it has a country feel)
(Is that Tower of Power?)
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
The greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he knew ev'ry tree
Kilt him a bear when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
(Well, somebody had to map it)
Fought single-handed through many a war
Till the enemy was whipped and peace was in store
And while he was handling this risky chore
He made himself a legend for evermore
Davy, Davy Crockett, the man knew no fear
(So romantic)
(Now he gets responsible)
He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixing up the Government and the laws as well
Took over Washington so I heard tell
And he patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett, seeing his duty clear
When he came home his politicking was done
And the western march had just begun
So he packed his gear and his trusty gun
And lit out a-grinning to follow the sun
Davy, Davy Crockett, leading the pioneer
(Just think about all that wilderness, and nobody had really been there before)
(And just him and his gun, and I should think the odd burro, or something)
(Somebody to carry a few things and probably somebody to take down the tent)
(Oh, if...I don't...did they have Zippos then?)
(Lighting the campfire, and quite hard to find sausages...or a frying pan)
(He also had that extraordinary hat, remember that hat?)
(Made out of some sort of animal - a raccoon, I think)
(Striped, with a stripey...I remember him singing this song when I was very little)
(Sort of a stripey tail on his hat - very, very strange look)
