Now if i may indulge in a bit of personal history
A few years ago
I worked for a while at the los alamos scientific laboratory in
New mexico
I had a job there as a spy
No i guess you know
That the staff out there at that time was composed almost exclusively
Of spies
Of one persuasion or another
And while i was out there
I came to realize how much the wild west had changed since the good
Old days of wyatt earp and home on the range
And here then is a
Modern cowboy ballad commemorating that delightful metamorphosis called
The wild west is where i wanna be
The Wild West Is Where I Want to Be (Live) - Tom Lehrer
Along the trail you'll find me lopin'
Where the spaces are wide open
In the land of the old aec yee-hoo
Where the scenery's attractive
And the air is radioactive
Oh the wild west is where i wanna be
'Mid the sagebrush and the cactus
I'll watch the fellows practice
Droppin' bombs through the clean desert breeze
A-ha
I'll have on my sombrero
And of course i'll wear a pair o'
Levis over my lead bvd's
I will leave the city's rush
Leave the fancy and the plush
Leave the snow and leave the slush
And the crowds
I will seek the desert's hush
Where the scenery is lush
How i long to see the mush-room clouds
'Mid the yuccas and the thistles
I'll watch the guided missiles
While the old fbi watches me
Yee-hoo
Yes i'll soon make my appearance
Soon as i can get my clearance
'Cause the wild west is where i wanna be
