| There’s something that’s been bugging us Texans.
|
| And It’s time that we set the record straight.
|
| Concerning a species of cacti.
|
| That grows in a whole different state.
|
| The cactus in questions’called saguro.
|
| It’s tall with big arms in the air.
|
| And if you’ve ever traveled in Texas.
|
| I’m sorry but you won’t see them there.
|
| Hollywood and mis-informed artists.
|
| Made the saguro a Texas Icon.
|
| But the saguro only grows in Arizona.
|
| Where people’ve got em’out on their lawn.
|
| I love the sonora desert.
|
| I’ll bet people there are glad I’m telling you.
|
| That the saguro only grows in Arizona.
|
| And part of Northern Mexico too.
|
| There ain’t no saguro in Texas.
|
| It’s not the kind of cactus we’ve got.
|
| But somehow we’re stuck with this image.
|
| And changing it is gonna take a lot.
|
| Folks in Mexico and Arizona.
|
| Are probably glad that I’ve cleared the air.
|
| There ain’t no saguro in Texas.
|
| But we’ve sure got a lot of prickly pair.
|
| Yes it’s true that we’ve got a lot of desert.
|
| But we’ve got a lot of piney forests too.
|
| Hundreds of miles of beaches.
|
| Hollywood just doesn’t have a clue.
|
| There’s prickley pair of cactus in Texas
|
| Those coleos’are sure good with eggs.
|
| Boots are required footwear.
|
| So cactus needles won’t stick your legs.
|
| Longhorns and blue bonnet flowers.
|
| Lima trees and great barbeque.
|
| Rattail and coral cactus.
|
| Mesquite trees’and peyote too.
|
| Yee Haw! |
