The Orinoco Kid Lyrics


Wombles The Orinoco Kid


When I got to Kansas City there were people in the road
They knew the town was dirty but they didn't think it showed
I wombled down the main street,
There was silence all around
Nobody tried to stop me as I cleaned up the town

I was bold, I was brave, I was fearless
I was famous for the things that I did
I was quick on the draw
As I tidied up the floor
So they called me the Orinoco Kid

Well, they sent someone to meet me
Name of Big John Womble Wayne
He threw his cigar on the ground
As he stepped down from the train
I stood up on my tiptoes and I looked him in the chin
I said, "Please pick that litter up and put it in the bin."

I was bold, I was brave, I was fearless
I was famous for the things that I did
I was quick on the draw
As I tidied up the floor
So they called me the Orinoco Kid

(Instrumental)

The mountains rose around me for as far as I could see
My tidy bag was full and I was really wombling free
I was riding down to Denver on the Colorado sand
I knew I was the wildest
Free womble in the land

I was bold, I was brave, I was fearless
I was famous for the things that I did
I was quick on the draw
As I tidied up the floor
So they called me the Orinoco Kid
Yes, they called me the Orinoco Kid
