HOPALONG CASSIDY
From "Hopalong Cassidy & The Singing Bandit" Record Reader (1950)
(Billy May / Alan Livingston)

Rand Brooks - 1950


There's a man you've seen on the televison screen
Who's the kind I'd like to be
He can ride and shoot, and is plenty smart to boot
That's Hopalong Cassidy

I am full of pride when he's ridin' by my side
Or he spends his time with me
He will be my friend until the very end
That's Hopalong Cassidy

For I am just a cowboy
With neither aim nor goal
I need a pal to lean upon
To teach me right from wrong

Oh, he has a mind both strong and kind
And I guess that I must be
Such a lucky guy with a friend as fine
As Hopalong Cassidy
