[00:24.85] My daddy was shy, he lived in Cheyenne

[00:29.90] He turned as red as I've ever seen a man

[00:34.94] And his skin was thick, and he was hard as a brick

[00:40.25] And just couldn't talk to no one

[00:45.04] And that must be where I get it from

[00:50.41] My uncle worked in a plutonium mine

[00:55.45] His job was to set up the dynamite

[01:00.76] And he got too close to a charge underground

[01:06.11] And all of his feelings went numb

[01:10.89] And that must be where I get it from

[01:16.47] Kiyay, yippee eiyo

[01:26.83] Kiyay, yippee eiyo

[01:40.11] My mama was ten feet tall

[01:45.15] She wasn't afraid of nothing at all

[01:50.21] And she said her prayers to be proper and all

[01:55.27] She swore on a grave and a gun

[02:00.31] And that must be where I get it from

[02:05.93] Great-grandad went mad, he was totally tweaked

[02:11.24] He wore the same suit every day of the week

[02:16.02] And I asked how it feels to be such a freak

[02:21.87] And he said, "You tell me, son"

[02:26.38] And that must be where I get it from

[02:31.70] Kiyay, yippee eiyo

[02:42.34] Kiyay, yippee eiyo

[02:56.15] Dad's little hands sat in his lap

[03:00.93] Like a couple of crabs that got caught in a trap

[03:05.99] And he shook my hand from so far away

[03:10.52] That he looked like a spot on the sun

[03:16.36] And I guess that's where I get it from

[03:23.52] And I guess that's where I get it from

[03:29.90] And I guess that's where I get it from
