Things Getting Silly, Now Bully and Billy

Verse 1
Rita liked Bogg right away
Laid down on a pile of hay
But no rough riders
Just sketchers and writers
That sold illustrations for pay.

Verse 2
The landing was bad in quicksand
And Jeffrey needed a hand
The rope Billy threw
Rescued the two
They joined Billy's traveling band.

Verse 3
Dry clothes Billy gave them for fun
And loaned them horses to run
Rattlesnake dead
Jeff lost his head
He so wanted to fire a gun.

Verse 4
But, how many kids learn to shoot
From Billy the Kid? what a hoot!
Bogg said no way
Do what I say
Though only tin cans and no loot.

Verse 5
I don't want to get between
A boy and his dad, that's mean
He's not my father
He's really a bother
Rebellious, just like a teen.

Verse 6
But Jeff didn't handle the gun
Though wanted to, just for fun
So he was mad
And Bogg was sad
As Billy's gang approached on the run.

Verse 7
To Jeff, Billy didn't seem bad
Denied he had killed a lad
Maybe self defense?
Don't be so dense!
Seemed anger was all that they had.

Verse 8
Tricked Jeff to go into the town
Where Teddy was hanging around
Bogg had to get frisky
With a bottle of whiskey
Rode fast on his horse, it was brown.

Verse 9
Surprised that they already knew
What Billy was aiming to do
The sheriff was old
And not very bold
What kind of a sheriff are you?

Verse 10
Jumped off the horse, blocked the way
"I don't need a gun," he did say
Jeff was surprised
Then saw Billy's eyes
Shouted to Bogg "get away!"

Verse 11
"He would've shot you dead"
In the back, or even the head
Counted to six
The bullets were nix
Tackled Billy before he said,

Verse 12
"You forget that I've got the gun"
And away Billy started to run
Bogg learned, he did
That Jeff's still a kid
Still better than any other one.

Verse 13
Rita rode off to new groups
Left Bogg with nothing, oops
Last time zone was better
He thought he could get her
And Jeffrey reviewed Teddy's troups.

Bonus Verses
(This is one of my favorite episodes because of the conflict between them, and how Bogg shows how much he cares about Jeff through it all. However, at the end, Jeff cries that he almost got Roosevelt killed when he hugs Bogg. He did not almost get Roosevelt killed though. Jeffrey's presence in the town didn't contribute to Billy's decision to kill Roosevelt, he went there to kill him in the first place, and the Jeffrey we all know, would have understood that. Another line could have easily been written for Jeff. Oh well. I also love how Bogg picked him up at the end and said "We're off to Cuba.")

Did anyone notice but me
The writing is wrong (oh gee!)
At the end when Jeff cried
Roosevelt almost died
He wasn't the reason, no siree!

That wasn't a logical line
For Jeffrey to say, here is mine,
Should have listened to you
You know what to do
Together it'll always be fine.
