Here They Come!

Here They Come!

This time of year the tourists come
to smell where bison used to roam,
to wade cold rivers until they’re numb.
This time of year the tourists come
to see the tepees, to hear the drums,
to escape the hum drum of their homes.
This time of year the tourists come
to smell where bison used to roam.

They come in droves from everywhere
with homes on wheels to sleep at night.
Invade the west without a care.
They come in droves from everywhere
in search of Yellowstone Grizzly bear.
Their flowered shirts are quite a sight.
They come in droves from everywhere
with homes on wheels to sleep at night.

They photograph their great expedition.
Show the folks back home their daring.
Exaggerate with endless repetition.
Photographs of their great expedition
with a brave, bold and colorful rendition.
Times like these are meant for sharing.
They photograph their great expedition.
Show the folks back home their daring.

At summer’s end the memories fade.
All the kids return to school.
Time to end the masquerade.
At summer’s end the memories fade.
It’s time to draw the window shade.
put away the maps, cover the pool.
At summer’s end the memories fade.
All the kids return to school.

They took a great vacation West.
They spent a lot of dough.
The locals suffered quite a test.
They took a great vacation West,
a longtime dream, fulfilled a quest.
Montanans put on quite a show.
