Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I might be movin' to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of dental floss
Raisin' it up, waxin' it down
In a little white box that I can sell uptown
[Verse 2]
By myself, I wouldn't have no boss
But I'd be raisin' my lonely dental floss
(Raisin' my lonely dental floss)
[Verse 3]
Well, I just might grow me some bees
But I'd leave the sweet stuff for somebody else
But then, on the other hand
[Verse 4]
I would keep the wax
And melt it down
Pluck some floss
And swish it around
[Verse 5]
I'd have me a crop
And it'd be on top
That's why I'm movin' to Montana
[Verse 6]
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a dental floss tycoon (Yes, I am)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune
[Verse 7]
I'm pluckin' the ol' dental floss
That's growin' on the prairie, pluckin' the floss
I plucked all day and all night and all afternoon
[Verse 8]
I'm ridin' a small, tiny horse
His name is Mighty Little, he's a good horse
Even though he's a bit dinky
So strap a big saddle or blanket on anyway
He's a bit dinky so strap a big saddle or blanket on anyway
Anyway
[Verse 9]
I'm pluckin' the ol' dental floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
[Verse 10]
I'm gonna find me a horse
Just about this big
An' ride him all along the border line
[Verse 11]
With a pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand
[Verse 12]
By myself, I wouldn't have no boss
But I'd be raisin' my lonely dental floss
(Raisin' my lonely dental floss)
(Raisin' my lonely dental floss)
[Verse 13]
Well, I might ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin' in the moonlight-y night
[Verse 14]
And then I'd get a cup of coffee
And give my foot a push
Just me 'n' the pygmy pony
Over by the dental floss bush
[Verse 15]
And then I might just
Jump back on
And ride like a cowboy
Into the dawn, to Montana
[Verse 16]
Movin' to Montana soon (Yippy-aye-oh-ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon (Yippy-aye-oh-ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon (Yippy-aye-oh-ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon (Yippy-aye-oh-ty-ay)
[Verse 17]
Movin' to Montana soon (Yippy-aye-oh-ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon (Yippy-aye-oh-ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon (Yippy-aye-oh-ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon (Yippy-aye-oh-ty-ay)
[Verse 18]
Movin' to Montana soon (Yippy-aye-oh-ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon (Yippy-aye-oh-ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon (Yippy-aye-oh-ty-ay)
Movin' to Montana soon (Yippy-aye-oh-ty-ay)
