Verse 1
Last year I performed (D major) at a rodeo,
because I have a really (C sharp major) good agent.
And, uh, (F major) I performed at a rodeo,
and yes, it was my first (E flat major) rodeo.
It was... (F major) I love that saying,
not my first rodeo,
as if the second rodeo
is when it makes (F major) sense.
Oh, now I get it. People
are riding animals
that want to be left alone.
(E flat major) First I thought,
wow, this is an aggressive (F minor) pet ting zoo.
(E flat major) So (F major) I (E flat major) performed after the rodeo
so I could watch.
It was so impressive.
(F major) It was truly dangerous
what these people were doing.
And we live in a risk -averse society.
It's not uncommon to see
(E flat major) a toddler wearing a helmet.
But at (F major) the rodeo,
there's no (E flat major) safety meeting.
There's no going, (F major) all right, fellas,
no one wants to see you get hurt.
(E flat major) Well, except everyone in the
stadium. (F major)
(E flat major) I don't know. (F major) I was
(D major) watching at one point,
And one of the participants came up to me,
goes, you do stand -up comedy?
(E flat major) I could (F major) never do that.
That terrifies me.
(G minor) And then I (F major) swear to God,
he proceeded to climb on a bull.
And the world never made sense again.
The rodeo, there's different events,
some of them more dangerous,
some different skills.
Like there's the calf roping,
where a guy chases (F major) down a calf.
You know how (E flat major) cows are super fast.
Well, (F major) this is a baby cow
that a grown man chases (D major) down
while he's riding a horse,
(F major) so it's a fair race.
(E flat major) And he lassos the calf,
(F major) and he jumps off, and he ties
it up.
And whoever (D major) does it fastest
is most likely to be a (F major) serial killer.
(E flat major) But there's nothing that competes
with the (F major) bull riding.
That's the ultimate event at the rodeo,
(F major) When people these guys
ride these boats
for up to eight (E flat major) seconds,
which is so impressive
and not just because I can't even
(F major) gargle that long
That scopes spicy (E flat major) you know I mean
But (F major) they ride a bull (E flat major) an d and very rarely do
they even get to eight seconds
But when they (F major) do that's
their workday eight seconds
That's got to change your perspective
on things like even waiting for
an elevator.
You're like I (E flat major) could
have ridden three bulls.
(F major) Yeah
And eight seconds,
it's not that long,
especially (E flat major) when you consider like a dead body could
ride a bull for like two seconds. (F major)
It's like, you did well, not as good as the corpse,
you know, you did, you did all right.
My (D major) fa vorite part of the rodeo
was the rodeo clown.
(F major) I don't know how they
(D major) convince someone to do that job.
(F major) It's like, after the riders thrown
by the furious bull,
we need someone to distract,
maybe antagonize the 2
,400 pound (F major) an imal
and me and the fellas we're thinking
you'd be good at that.
Me? (E flat major) Would I have protection?
(F major) You mean like makeup?
No, something to protect me
from the bull.
Now you wouldn't be out there naked,
you'd be dressed like a clown.
Why a clown?
It would be hysterical.
For who? Now
We haven't figured
everything out yet.
Why are they dressed like
clowns?
Do they think a bull's gonna
throw a rider
and be like,
I'm gonna gore everyone in this.
Is that a clown?
Is it my birthday?
Did you guys get me a clown
for my birthday?
I didn't even think you guys
liked me.
Then you go and get me a
clown
for my birthday.
