The Lyrics
*ganglia: nerve tissue outside the central nervous system; nates: buttocks; delta rhythms: low brain waves associated with deep sleep
CHORUS:
Gored! I was horned, a wranglin' man,
Tryin' to break a big 'n', lassoing out west I am.
Sent me, that bull, heavin', the rope still in my hand,
Then I was horned, my ganglia* rammed.
Well it's hard to be a wrangler when you're gored, yeah,
And wounded with a long rent in the bum.
I was horned in the crack of my gray-brown butt,
Holin' brown highway--mighty stunned.
CHORUS
Doc's got my nates* groomed so clean, post-hornin'
Leanin' in. . .my ass he'll bend to see.
He says, "Half-assed," a good line, this clown is a wry dude.
Morphine, delta rhythms*, sink in world of sleep.
CHORUS
Gored! I was horned, a wranglin' man,
[Repeat and drift off]
Gored! I was horned, a wranglin' man,
Tryin' to break a big 'n', lassoing out west I am.
Sent me, that bull, heavin', the rope still in my hand,
Then I was horned, my ganglia* rammed.
Well it's hard to be a wrangler when you're gored, yeah,
And wounded with a long rent in the bum.
I was horned in the crack of my gray-brown butt,
Holin' brown highway--mighty stunned.
CHORUS
Doc's got my nates* groomed so clean, post-hornin'
Leanin' in. . .my ass he'll bend to see.
He says, "Half-assed," a good line, this clown is a wry dude.
Morphine, delta rhythms*, sink in world of sleep.
CHORUS
Gored! I was horned, a wranglin' man,
[Repeat and drift off]

Stuart, Alvin, Rick C., thanks.
You lassoed this parody down in 5.55 seconds.
Your wordplay off the original song is unsurpassed. Stunning, even. 555
John Barry, you are out of freakin' control...stay that way, please.
You're a one-man ganglia. This is right up Guy's alley, and if he doesn't five this (I sure did), he oughta turn in his card.
Your mastery of the rhyme is a thing to behold! 555
