YOU CAN'T ROLLERSKATE IN A BUFFALO HERD 
Roger Miller


You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd 
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd 
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd 
But you can be happy if you've a mind to 

You can't take a shower in a parakeet cage 
You can't take a shower in a parakeet cage 
You can't take a shower in a parakeet cage 
But you can be happy if you've a mind to 

All you gotta do, is put your mind to it 
Knuckle down, buckle down, do it, do it, do it 

Well you can't go swimmin' in a baseball pool 
You can't go swimmin' in a baseball pool 
You can't go swimmin' in a baseball pool 
But you can be happy if you've a mind to 

You can't change film with a kid on your back (chain-swim) 
You can't change film with a kid on your back 
You can't change film with a kid on your back 
But you can be happy if you've a mind to 

You can't drive around with a tiger in your car 
You can't drive around with a tiger in your car 
You can't drive around with a tiger in your car 
But you can be happy if you've a mind to 

All you gotta do, is put your mind to it 
Knuckle down, buckle down, do it, do it, do it 

Well you can't roller skate in a buffalo herd 
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd 
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd 
But you can be happy if you've a mind to 

You can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch 
You can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch 
You can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch 
But you can be happy if you've a mind to 

You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd 
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd 
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd...
