The Coyote and The Cactus

(Verse 1) Well, down in the desert where the tumbleweeds roll, There's a tale 'bout a coyote with a feisty soul. He strutted 'round town like he owned the place, 'Til he crossed paths with a cactus and it's prickly embrace. (Chorus) Coyote and cactus, they danced in the moonlight, Spinnin' and howlin', what a hilarious sight! The cactus threw needles, the coyote dodged 'em with grace, It was a showdown in the desert, a wild, spiky chase. (Verse 2) Now, the coyote he yipped, "You ain't got nothin' on me!" But the cactus just stood there, silent as can be. Then with a flick of its needles, it struck like a dart, The coyote yelped in surprise, felt a prick in his heart. (Chorus) Coyote and cactus, still tangled in a fight, Rollin' and tumblin', under the pale moonlight. The coyote realized, with a rueful grin on his face, Messin' with a cactus ain't no walk in the desert race. (Bridge) They say pride comes before a fall, And this coyote learned that lesson, needles and all. So next time you wander the desert wide, Remember the tale of the coyote's pride. (Chorus) Coyote and cactus, finally called it a draw, Limpin' and laughin', what a sight they saw. The desert echoed with their laughter and their cries, Oh, what a tale of the night 'neath the starry skies. (Outro) So if you ever spot a coyote, beware his boastful ways, And if you see a cactus, give it plenty of space. For in the dance of the desert, where the wild winds blow, Sometimes even a coyote needs to learn when to let go.
