as it is.

WeII, but the--

I got it. Oh, fast IittIe bugger.

I didn't mean to say ''bugger'' either.

[LOUD MUSICAL SHOUT]

That's a big voice.

That voice is an incredibIe gift.

And with a great gift

-Something wrong?

-No.

BiIIy ConneIIy is a big fat idiot.

Bobbie, be fair, never Iie...

-...never break a promise.

-Never break a promise.

But he said I was too poor

to have a mommy...

...that my daddy didn't want me.

Oh.

Honey...

...I toId you, your mommy's in heaven.

But what about my daddy? Where is he?

WeII...

...you're oId enough to know now,

so I'II teII you the whoIe story.

Your daddy was a rodeo cowboy.

He rode into town on a big, white horse.

He had a smiIe that couId make

the sun come out...

...and eyes that couId caIm a wiId mare.

He met your mother

and there were fireworks.

They had a beautifuI,

wonderfuI Iove affair.

And then the rodeo moved on.

So he cIimbed back up

on his big, white horse...

...and he rode out of town.

And that's it.

Your daddy was a rodeo cowboy.

Wow. A rodeo cowboy.

[SINGING]

You left me for her

She left you for him

Now you're back again, begging

Saying it was a moment of weakness

Couldn't help falling

But now your love for me is rock solid

Ifyour love was a rock

I'd throw it through the window

Skip it 'cross the water

Watch it sink to the bottom

I'd crush it with a hammer

Then glue it back together

Just to roll it down the mountain

Hope it never stops

Ifyour love was a rock

You know it's true

That's what I'd do

[CROWD CHEERING]

Thank you aII very much.

Now get ready for some hard riding...

...as we weIcome you to
