Lyrics
Chorus
They’re cowbells, just cowbells, when he says he loves but you
That’s cowbells, just cowbells, when he says that he’ll be true
And when he sighs, “I love your eyes, you’re such a sweet little thing
You’re the first girl I’ve kissed” Oh listen to the cowbells ring
Those cowbells, those cowbells, never let them make you fall
When he says, “Dear I promise you
When we’re married I’ll support your mother too
That’s not only cowbells, it’s the whole cow, and all
Chorus
They’re cowbells, just cowbells, when he says you made him fall
That’s cowbells, just cowbells, that is what he tells them all
And when he says, “you’re my first love, the others don’t mean a thing
I’d lay down my life for you” Oh listen to the cowbells ring
Those cowbells, those cowbells, never let them make you fall
If on his knees he tells you that
He will love you even if you do grow fat
That’s not only cowbells, it’s the whole cow, and all
