You know T'resa and Murdoch and Jelly and Scotty
B'ranca and Dewdrop and the rest of the party.
But do you recall,
The most famous Lancer of all?

Johnny, the gun totin' Lancer,
Was the fastest in the west.
And if you ever saw him,
You would say he was the best.
All of the other Lancers
Questioned would he change his name.
They couldn't see how Madrid
Would ever give up all that fame.

Then one frightful, fateful day
Pardee came to claim
Lancer with its hills so green.
Prettiest ranch you've ever seen.

Then how the Lancer's shouted
As Madrid battled Day,
Johnny, the gun totin' Lancer,
We're behind you all the way.
