That famous day in history the men of the 7th Cavalry went riding on

And from the rear a voice was heard

A brave you man with a trembling word rang loud and cleal

What am I doing here??

Please Mr. Custer, I don’t wanna go

Hey, Mr. Custer, please don’t make me go

I had a dream last night about the coming fight

Somebody yelled "attack!"

And there I stood with a arrow in my back.

Please Mr. Custer, I don’t wanna go forward Ho!! aww

Look at them bushes out there

They’re moving and there’s a injun behind every one

Hey, Mr. Custer—you mind if I be excused the rest of the afternoon?

HEY CHARLIE, DUCK YER HEAD!!

Hmm, you’re a little bit late on that one, Charlie

Hooh, I bet that smarts!

They were sure of victory, the men of the 7th Cavalry, as they rode on

But then from the rear a voice was heard

That same brave voice with the trembling word rang loud and clear

What am I doin’ here??

Please Mr. Custer, I don’t wanna go

Listen, Mr. Custer, please don’t make me go

There’s a redskin waiting out there, just fix'in to take my hair

A coward I’ve been called, cuz I don’t wanna wind up dead or bald

Please Mr. Custer, I don’t wanna go forward HO aww

I wonder what the injun word for friend is

Let’s see—friend-- kemo sabe, that’s it

KEMO SABE!, HEY OUT THERE—KEMO SABE!

Nope, that ain't it

Look at them darned injuns

They’re running around like a bunch of wild Indians-heh, heh, heh

Nah, this ain’t no time for joking
