Alteh Buck lyrics

ALTEH BUCK
I'm an alteh buck             I'm an old buck
Foon old
Kentuck              From old Kentuck
Uhn ich triypst tsu town      And I
drive to town
Lookin' like a schmuck        (schmuck is vulgar for stupid
jerk
                                   literally, "penis")
Oy, ich
triypst arum          Oh, I traipse around
Ahf a fehrdteleh             
On a little horse
Ich hob der ganseh veldt      I regard the whole
world
In d'rehrdtelleh              [as belonging] in hell
          
                   (if not in "hell", at least dead &
                     
         buried - "in the earth")
Yippee ay oh kiyay
Oy, Yippee ay oh
kiyay        [The word for horse, "fehrdt" and
                           
  the word for hell, "d'rehrdt" (the
                              earth),
are both in the grammatical
                              form,
"affectionate-diminutive"]
tune: I'm an Old Cowhand
