The Horseman Won

I shot the horse, but the horseman won
The horseman won. The horseman won
It was a full attack with a baby on his back
It was a full attack with a baby on his back you know
His aim was true. What can I do?
What can I do-oo-oo?

I shot the bear but the bearman won
I was no fun. I got no gun
I launched a full attack with the baby on my back
I threw it at that chap. Nearly had a heart attack
But then the bearman won. I'm leaving, son
I need a va-ca-tion

Maybe I’ll fly away to somewhere sunny soon
Then I shall shoot the sun and bring about the moon
Apocalyptic noon
Oh, gag me with a spoon

I shot the horse, but the horseman won
The horseman won, the horseman won
But then we made a truce after kicking my caboose
And then we shot the moose so the mooseman had to lose. Oh, yes
Our aim was true. Yes we both knew
What we had to do!
