Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I rode out one morning, just a-feelin' fine,
With my heart full of courage, and a flask of moonshine.
But out in the distance, what did I see?
A towering giraffe, lookin' down on me.
[Verse 2]
He snorted and he stomped, with his eyes all aflame,
But I stood my ground, ain't no one to blame.
Even though I never seen something quite that large,
With a hoot and holler I began to charge.
[Chorus]
I'm fightin' a giraffe, in the light of the dawn,
With a heart full of grit, and my boots on the lawn.
He's swingin’ his neck, like a lasso in the breeze,
But I'll wrangle that tall boy, just you wait and see.
[Verse 3]
With a leap and a bound, I closed the gap,
But that giraffe was quick, ain't no time for a nap.
His hooves kicked up dust, as he lunged and he swayed,
But I ducked and I dodged, no time to be afraid.
[Verse 4]
We danced in the dust, beneath the open sky,
Me and that giraffe, just lookin’ eye to eye.
With a swift jab and a mighty big swing,
I landed a blow that made the tall boy sing.
[Chorus]
I'm fightin' a giraffe, in the light of the dawn,
With a heart full of grit, and my boots on the lawn.
He's swingin' his neck, like a lasso in the breeze,
But I'll wrangle that tall boy, just you wait and see.
[Bridge]
Well, folks may laugh and folks may jeer,
But I ain't backin' down, I'll make it clear.
I'll wrestle that giraffe, 'til the break of day,
'Cause in these parts, that's just how we play.
[Chorus]
I'm fightin' a giraffe, in the light of the dawn,
With a heart full of grit, and my boots on the lawn.
He's swingin' his neck, like a lasso in the breeze,
But I'll wrangle that tall boy, just you wait and see.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Outro]
So if ever you see, a man standin' tall,
Tusslin' with a giraffe, in a battle brawl.
Just tip your hat, and lend him a cheer,
For he's fightin' for honor, with no trace of fear.
