Kitty Litter Cowboy

Here’s an explanation of this one:

This guy I know was a DJ on an oldies station (Gold), then abruptly left to be a DJ on a country station (Hank). He loves food, and had recipes posted on these radio stations’ Web sites. One of the recipes was for a concoction called “Kitty Litter Cake,” which I am told ends up looking just like a box of kitty litter that has been used by the cat (think of tapered Tootsie Rolls and you get a clue). I am so sorry.

 

Kitty Litter Cowboy (Tribute to Scott Roddy)

(Parody of Mel Tillis’ Coca-Cola Cowboy)

You used to spin all that gold

But “Records” got sort of old

And you got an offer you could not refuse

So you left Johnson County

And got a job downtowny

Playing country music on Hank in the afternoon

And we say….

 

(Chorus)

You’re just a Kitty Litter cowboy

You got a goofy laugh and Webster’s big ol’ ears

“When You’re Hot You’re Hot” hangs on your office wall

And eating carrot cake brings you to tears

 

You know you’re never alone

Cause you take requests on the phone

And you let your listeners vote on “Hank or Stank”

You put recipes online

And it don’t cost a dime

To find out how to make Kitty Litter Cake

I say….

 

You’re just a Kitty Litter cowboy

You got a goofy laugh and Webster’s big ol’ ears

“When You’re Hot You’re Hot” hangs on your office wall

And drinking peach milkshakes brings you to tears

 

Guitar solo

 

We say…

You’re just a Kitty Litter cowboy

You got a goofy laugh and Webster’s big ol’ ears

“When You’re Hot You’re Hot” hangs on your office wall

And eating anything brings you to tears

 

Yes, eating anything brings you to tears
