Across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Who sang a sort of Indian "Hi-de-ho"
To the people passin' by

The pinto spent his time a-swishin' flies
And the Navajo watched the lazy skies
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes
On the people passin' by

One day, they went a walkin' along the railroad track
They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot! Toot!, they never came back

Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the summer sun decides to settle low
A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho"
To the people passing by

Across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough
For the people passing by

They thought that they would make some easy bucks
By washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux,
A pair of very conscientious clucks
To the people passin' by

Then they took this cheap vacation, their shoes were polished bright
No, they never heard the whistle, Toot! Toot! they're clear out of sight

Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the starlight beams its tender glow
The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough
For the people passin' by

One day, they went a walkin' along the railroad track
They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot! Toot!, they never came back

Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the summer sun decides to settle low
A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho"
To the people passin' by

Mirror lyrics:

To the people passin' by
A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho"
When the summer sun decides to settle low
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo

They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot! Toot!, they never came back
One day, they went a walkin' along the railroad track

For the people passin' by
The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough
When the starlight beams its tender glow
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo

No, they never heard the whistle, Toot! Toot! they're clear out of sight
Then they took this cheap vacation, their shoes were polished bright

To the people passin' by
A pair of very conscientious clucks
By washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux,
They thought that they would make some easy bucks

For the people passing by
Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Across the alley from the Alamo

To the people passing by
A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho"
When the summer sun decides to settle low
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo

They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot! Toot!, they never came back
One day, they went a walkin' along the railroad track

On the people passin' by
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes
And the Navajo watched the lazy skies
The pinto spent his time a-swishin' flies

To the people passin' by
Who sang a sort of Indian "Hi-de-ho"
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Across the alley from the Alamo
