Title:  broken-down bronco Bruce

Composer:  Joe Raposo

Lead vocals:  Skip Hinnant

Backing vocals:  none

Scene:  A cowboy riding and complaining about his sad-sack backward-walking horse.

[SH]  He's a very ugly sight, and he isn't very bright.

He's my broken-down bronco Bruce.

He never wins races, and his teeth have all got braces.

He's my broken-down bronco Bruce.

He's always runnin' into lakes, 'cause he hasn't any brakes.

He's my broken-down bronco Bruce.

He never goes to bed, and he lives on whole-wheat bread.

He's my broken-down bronco Bruce.

He likes to gallop in the rain, 'cause he hasn't got a brain.

He's my broken-down bronco Bruce.

In his middle there's a sag, and there's no way I can brag

'Bout my broken-down bronco Bruce.

Yes, he fills my heart with gloom.  In fact, I'd rather ride a broom

Than my broken-down bronco Bruce.

My broken-down bronco Bruce.

My broken-down bronco Bruce.
