Some don’t know what a scarf is
At least the scarf some cow folks wear
A big piece of cloth that goes ‘round the neck
Like the ones ladies used to tie over their hair
Cowboys, punchers and buckaroos
Found that when tied around the neck
It helped keep you warm in winter time
Good as another coat, by heck
Some will use it to cover their face
Just hang it over their nose
Tie it in back of their head
Keeps the dust out when the wind blows
Some call them wild rags
Cause mostly they are big and bright
Made from silk are the best
Warm and lightweight , just right
And now that we got the Woo Han flu
Spreading around all over the land
Many have taken to using it like that
Stops sneezes to beat the band
So when my ol’ pal Santa calls me up
And asks just what he’s supposed to do
To meet the mandates spreading around
To prevent the Woo Han flu
I tells him to get a wild rag
And to tie it over his face
Besides stopping snot slinging
It will help him to have a warm face!
“But what about the reindeer?”, he asks
“Well shoot, do the same for them”
“How do I get them big enough?”, he asks
That kind of wrinkled my brain stem!
“Bigger,” I shouts! “Bigger!”
“Then they will fit their big nose”
“How do I keep them on?”, he asks
“Just tie them to their antlers I suppose!”
So when you look up Christmas Eve
And see Santy and that bright red sled
Pay no mind to them flappin’ rags you see
Just taking precautions that Woo Han don’t spread!
