Readers Of The Open Range
Spoken: Vern:Howdy, my name's Vern, this here's my gang (nods to man on one side, woman on the other). We're special sort of cow-pokes and we'd like to tell ya a little bit about ourselves.
Sung: Vern: We travel all around the west Just looking for a chance To satisfy our passion For adventure and romance We do the things that cowboys do Like fussin' with our herds But what we really love the most is Reading words
All: We're readers, readers Readers of the open range We're readers, readers
Vern: Readers of the open range
Spoken: Vern: Hey look boys, what's that sign say thare?
Other Male: Well, I can read that, it says, 'Gopher Junction' (note: the sign actually says 'Gopher Jct.', not the best idea for teaching kids how to read, IMHO)
Female: Yeah, and 'Dodge City'.
Men: Yeeha!
Sung: Vern: We read the signs along the road We fill the wordless gaps Read labels in our cowboy hats And cowboy boots and chaps We do the things that cowboys do Like fussin' with our herds But what we really love the most is Reading words
All: We're readers, readers Readers of the open range We're readers, readers
Vern: Readers of the open range
Spoken: Vern: I see ya got your Acme cowboy boots on.
Other Male: Yup, and I'm wearing my International League of Garment Workers shirt, ahhh-heee!

Other Male: Real excitin'
Female: Goshdarn nation
All: Really treat We're readers, readers Readers of the open range We're readers, readers
Vern: Readers of the open range
All: We're readers, readers Readers of the open range We're readers, readers
Vern: Readers of the open range
Spoken: Vern: Oh, lookey there, there's Dalton Gazette Female: Oh yeah, and the dentist
Other Male: Oh, look up yonder, it's the seed store Oh and look, Jake's and Harry the blacksmith
Vern: Sasparilly Well boys, I'd love to stay and read some more, but I think we better head for home.
Other Male: Yep.
Vern: We're bound to find a few more signs on the way.
Sung (as they ride into the sunset): Readers of the open range We're readers, readers Readers of the open range We're readers, readers Yoddle-a-e-hoo!
