Lyrics

[Chorus]
And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
I said me up on my pony, on my boat
[Verse 1]
If I were Roy Rogers
I'd sure enough be single
I couldn't bring myself to marryin' old Dale
Oh, it'd just be me and Trigger
We'd go ridin' through them movies
Then we'd buy a boat, and on the sea we'd sail
[Chorus]
And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
I said me up on my pony, on my boat
[Verse 2]
Well, now the mystery, masked man was smarter
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto, he was smarter
And one day said, "Kemosabe
Well, kiss my ass, I bought a boat
I'm goin' out to sea"
[Chorus]
And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
I said me up on my pony, on my boat
[Verse 3]
And if I were like lightnin'
I wouldn't need no sneakers
Well, I'd come and go whenever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree
And scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat, out on the sea
[Chorus]
And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
I said me up on my pony, on my boat
I said me up on my pony, on my boat
