I’m Fighting A Giraffe

[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.
