Saguaro Lyrics by Austin Lounge Lizards

Creatures From the Black Saloon

0

The daylight was a'slippin’
Through the mountains to the east
He grabbed his guns and he mounted up
He was off to say the least
He drove along in silence
A chill was in the air
The monsters had to be cut down
Or they'd soon be everywhere
Saguaro
A menace to the west
His name was David Grundman
A noxious little twerp
Saw the giant plants as the Clanton gang
And himself as Wyatt Earp
So he drove out to the desert
They wouldn't come to town
And Maricopa County
He vowed to shoot them down
Saguaro
A menace to the west
Well he strode up to the first one
Not the largest of the lot
With a lightning move with sidestep
And killed him with one shot
And when the smoke had cleared, the cactus
Had lost that final round
Two hundred years of nature’s work
Lay splattered on the ground
[Interlude]
Hey-ho
He crossed a small arroyo
Oh the sun was in his eyes
He was looking for the leader
He'd know him by his size
When all at once upon a ridge
The squinting gunman saw
27 feet of succulent
Challenging his draw
Saguaro
A menace to the west
He was slightly disadvantaged
By the angle of the sun
But afterall the cactus
Wasn't packing any gun
His finger twitched, he made his move
He drew, his guns did bark
And echoed with the laughter
As the bullets hit their mark
Well the giant cactus trembled
Then came that warning sound
The mighty arm of justice
Came hurling toward the ground
And the gunman staggered backwards
He whimpered and he cried
The Saguaro
Crushed him like a bug
And David Grundman died
Saguaro, Saguaro, Saguaro, Saguaro
David Grundman
A menace to the west
