That famous day in history, the men of the 7th Cavalry went riding on
And from the rear a voice was heard, a brave young man with a trembling word rang loud and clear
What am I doing here? Please, Mr. Custer, I don't want to 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 the arrow in my back
Please, Mr. Custer, I don't want to go
What? Oh, no
Look at them bushes out there
They're moving
And there's an engine behind every one
Hi, Mr. Custer
Hi, Mr. Custer
I'll probably be excused the rest of the afternoon
Hey, Charlie, duck your head
Well, you're a little bit late on that one, Charlie
Whew, I bet that's smart
They were sure a victory, the men of the 7th Cavalry, as they rode on
But then from the rear a voice was heard, that same great voice with a trembling word rang loud and clear
What am I doing here?
Please, Mr. Custer, I don't want to go
Listen, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go
There's a redskin waiting out there
He's fixing to take my hat
A coward I've been called to be a coward
Cause I don't want to wind up dead or bald
Please, Mr. Custer, I don't want to go
What? Oh, no
I wonder what the engine word for friend is
Say friend
Kimisabi, that's it
Kimisabi, hey out there, Kimisabi
No, that isn't it
Look at them out there
They're running around like a bunch of wild indians
Now this ain't no time for joking
