Spaghetti Western
Parody in the style of Sergeo Leone and the great 60s/70s spaghetti westerns. quite low in ranting, but hey ho! A simple tale of life on the range where the white eagle calls. And the true hero is a cowpoke rounding up by day and cooking by night. Fine vocals by Kim Noble (not of this parish).
Lyricisation:
She was the last cowgirl chuckwagon rancher
She was fast as the wind oh you just try and catch her
And on her big horse she rounded up all the cows
And then liked to hand roll some …..italian chow
Around these parts she was known as Frankie
Long black braids and red plaid hankie.
A sterile kitchen for her was mandatory.
And the cows were afraid of her ….beef caccia….tore.
She worked on the ranch owned by Enersto
They’d rustle up beans and their favorite pesto
And an epic linguini, together they’re destined
To be the last heroes in a …. spaghetti western
Oh Frankie you’re a dying breed of cowgirl.
From a time when women shot double-barrelled
Riding the range where the white eagle calls
Cook us up a big heap of …. spaghetti and meatballs
With one shot of whiskey and a fistful of dollars
She’d wrangle up some pasta faster than you could holler
But Frankie never crossed a line way back then
She was still the hero even of the garlic …wasn’t put in
So tell your children and your grandchildren too
About Frankie, the cowgirl we all knew.
And when it came to boiling rigatoni she was the best.
Cuz Frankie’s still stirring up the …. spaghetti west.
Cos Frankie worked the ranch owned by an italian
Collecting basil and herbs on her black stallion
All the cowboys gathered round, she was always destined
To be the last chuckwagon cowpoke ….in a spaghetti western
Hi Ian, As mentioned on the economy class site I love the bell at the start – I was expecting to see Clint Eastwood. ‘Italian’ and ‘Stallion’ is a top rhyme. Top effort all round, in fact and your singer is great. However, you’ll be pleased to hear I have run out of pasta jokes! Once again, a great song, which is a fun way to celerate the spaghetti westerns we all love. Cheers.
Awww Phil
Awww, Phil… “insert complex pun about pasta here” …. go on, you now you want to!
Great fun lyrics put together in a really good production, I really enjoyed listening!
Hi Tracy, thanks for the nice comment… it only vaguely follows a Sergio leone theme, and is low on ranting. Is it possible to rant about pasta? Not sure!
Great arrangement & so much fun, Ian. The drama of the music & performance contrasts cleverly with the humour in the lyrics. ??
