"Winter Wonderland: Houston Style", by Moondog

Gone away are the shootin days

here to stay, the boot scottin ways

The cowboys still wear hats

they seldom wear their chaps

livin in the houston wonderland

You're not likely to see many cattle drives

but the highways are like bee hives

in pickups they're shootin around

buzzin all about the town

livin in the houston wonderland

Along the boulevards you all will find a party

don't act like some northern smarty

just join in the fun, line dance on the run

pop a nice cold beer, or just join in the cheer

dancin in the houston wonderland..
