He's the Man for Me

I've travelled the mountains all over,
  and now to the valleys I'll go
And live like a pig in the clover,
  in sight of huge mountains of snow

   In sight of huge mountains of snow
   In sight of huge mountains of snow
   And live like a pig in the clover
   In sight of huge mountains of snow

I'll marry a rich senorita
  and live on a ranch in the west
Have forty young greasers to greet her,
  and fifty, if put to the test

I'll wear a "right pee-rt" stand-up collar,
  and smoke cigaritos, of course
And when I run short of a dollar,
  I'll try and obtain a divorce

I'm greatly in favor of mining --
  with me, though, it does not agree
I'd rather be gently reclining
  with Beauty upon a settee

I'm not much in favor of thieving,
  at all events, just as I feel
But never will work for a living
  so long as I'm able to steal
