[Chorus] Bozo guards the cactus Bozo, hold your post Clay pot by the window You’re the little cowboy host Bozo guards the cactus Sun spills across the sill With those red lips and brown hat You keep the whole room still [Verse] Your wooden boots stand steady Beside the open glass A prickly green companion Tucked in your clay-cup grasp You lean into the sunlight With your mustache turned down low A tiny western sentry Where houseplants come and go [Verse] The sill wears stripes of daylight The cactus throws its crown Your carved hands never tremble You never put it down Bozo, when the hours wander And the quiet gathers dust You watch that little desert Because somebody must [Chorus] Bozo guards the cactus Bozo, hold your post Clay pot by the window You’re the little cowboy host Bozo guards the cactus Sun spills across the sill With those red lips and brown hat You keep the whole room still
