The lyrics marked in blue only appear on the original soundtrack

(You ain't) home on the range (Menken / Slater)

Out in the land where the men are tough as cactus
out in the land where the wild, wild west was won
out in the land of the desperado

if yer as soft as an avocado
yee-ha, yer quacamole, son

Home, home, this ain't it, pal
home, home, home on the range
home, home, better go git, pal
you ain't home on the range

Out in the land where the weak are target practice
(home, home, home on the range)
out in the land where they shoot the mild and meek
(home, home, home on the range)
out where the bad are a whole lot badder
if yer the type with a nervous bladder
yip yow, yer saddle's gonna reek
cause you ain't home on the range
cowboy, yer really up the creek

Home, home, home on the range
home, home, home on the range
home, home, home on the range
home, home, home on the range

Echo Mine Reprise:
Out in the land where the heroes meet their makers
out in the land where the hale and hardy fall
out where the fearless get the shudders
justice is here, and it's wearin' udders
yee-ha, the cows are walkin' tall

Home, home, this ain't it, pal
home, home, home on the range
home, home, better go git, pal
home, home, home on the range

Little patch of heaven (Menken / Slater)

I know a place, pretty as pie
out where the riverbend hits up with the end of the sky
it's left of Nebraska and over a crest
on a little patch of heaven, way out west

Ev'rything's green, know what I mean ?
darlin', it's quite the sweetest sight that'cha ever done seen
ain't nothin' much out there, just life at its best
on that little patch of heaven, way out west

Bees by the dozen are buzzin' real peaceful
ev'ry bluebonnet, doggone it, smells nice
even the tumblin' tumbleweed
slows down to match ter speed
on my tiny half-an-acre of paradise

Ev'ry which way, buttercups sway
out on the hill, the daffodills are enjoyin' the day
what could be better than settin' to rest
on a little patch of heaven, way out west ?

Hummin' birds flutter in utter contentment
ev'ry dark daisy feels lazy, you bet
even the skeeters an' the fleas
say "may I", "thanks" and "please"
why, it's just as close to perfect as you can get

Darlin', I swear, once you been there
there aint a view beneath the blue that could ever compare
the only thing missin' is you as my guest
on that little patch of heaven, way out west

Why don'tcha come visit ?
there's room in my nest
on that little patch of heaven, way out west

Yodel-adle-eedle-idle-oo (Menken / Slater)

There are crooks in this here West
who have claimed to be the best
and think they wrote the book on how to rustle
well, as good as they may be
not a one's as good as me
an' I barely have to move a single muscle

They call me mean, boys
depraved and nasty too
and they ain't seen, boys
the cruelest thing I do

You see, I yodel-adle-eedle-idle-odle
the sweetest way of rustlin' yet devised
cause when I yodel-adle-eedle-idle-odle
why, looky how them cows git hypnotized

He don't prod, he don't yell
still he drives them dogies well
which ain't easy when your chaps are labeled XXXXL

Yes, if yer lookin' from a bovine point of view
I sure can yodel-adle-eedle-idle
yodel-adle-eedle-idle
yodel-adle-eedle-idle-oo

Here we go, boys, five thousand cattle in the side pocket

[yodeling]

Yes, I can yodel-adle-eedle-idle-odle
a sound them cattle truly take to heart
yeah, I can yodel-adle-eedle-idle-odle
an' smack my big ol' rump if that ain't art

He don't rope, not a chance
he just puts 'em in a trance
he's a pioneer Pied Piper in ten-gallon underpants

Yep, I'm the real rip-roarin' deal to those who moo
thanks to my yodel-adle-eedle-idle
odle-adle-eedle-idle
I got the cattle out the ol' wazoo
cause I can yodel-adle-eedle-idle-oo
yodel-adle-eedle-idle-oo

Will the sun ever shine again (Menken / Slater)

Rain is pourin' down like the heavens are hurtin'
seems like it's been dark since the devil knows when
how do you go on, never knowin' for certain
will the sun ever shine again ?

Fells like it's been years since it started to thunder
clouds are campin' out in the valley and glen
how do you go on, when you can't help but wonder
will the sun ever shine again ?

What if the rain keeps fallin' ?
what if the sky stays gray ?
what if the winds keeps squallin'
and never go away ?

Maybe the soon the storm will be tired of blowin'
maybe soon it all will be over, amen
how do you go on, if there's no way of knowin' ?
will the sun ever shine ? wish I could say
send me a sign, one little ray
Lord, if you're list'nin', how long until then ?
will the sun ever shine again ?

Wherever the trail may lead (Menken / Slater)

Come with me and let's go wander
far beyond the wild blue yonder
out where stars roam free
though the journey's far from breezy
stick with me, I'll make it easy
you can depend on me

Yeah, there's a long road before us
and it's a hard road, indeed
but darlin', I swear I'll get us there
wherever the trail may lead

Once we've cross that far horizon
life is bound to be surprisin'
but we'll take it day by day
never mind the wind and weather
if we walk that trail together
somehow we'll find our way

Yeah, there's a long road before us
and it's a hard road, indeed
but darlin', I vow we'll get through somehow
wherever the trail may lead

Can't tell you when we'll be there
it may takes all our lives
we're headin' for that great unknown
we'll soon be walkin' free there
but 'til that day arrives
at least we won't be travellin' alone

And there's a long road before us
and it's a hard road, indeed
but darlin, don't fear cause I'll be right here
to give you the strength you need
and through the whole ride I'll be by your side
wherever the trail may lead

Anytime you need a friend (Movie Version) (Menken / Slater)

When you're sad, when you're feeling low
when you're hurt and don't know where to go
think of me, there I'll be
anytime you need a friend

When you're down and your luck runs out
or if you're in trouble or in doubt
it's okay, turn my way
anytime you need a friend

When you're scared, I will stay with you
when you feel you're falling, I'll lift you
when you're heart breaks, I'll ease your aches
whatever it takes, I'm in (I'm in)
anytime you need a friend

All our lives, anywhere we are (anywhere we are)
just reach out-I'll never be too far
come what may, there I'll stay
anytime you need a friend

When you're scared, I will stay with you
when you feel you're falling, I'll lift you
when you're heart breaks, I'll ease your aches
whatever it takes, I'm in (whatever it takes)
anytime you need a friend

When you need a friend
come what may, there I'll stay
now until the very end
anytime you need a friend
anytime, whatever it takes
anytime, anywhere
anytime you need a friend

 

Anytime you need a friend (Soundtrack Version) (Menken / Slater)

When you're sad, when you're feeling low
when you're hurt and don't know where to go
think of me, there I'll be
anytime you need a friend

When you're down and your luck runs out
or if you're in trouble or in doubt
it's okay, turn my way
anytime you need a friend

When you're scared, I will stay with you
when you feel you're falling, I'll lift you
when you're heart breaks, I'll ease your aches
whatever it takes, I'll do

I'll be there, taking care
anytime you need a friend

When you're blue, I will console you
when your world is ending, I'll hold you
when you're lonely, come lean on me
I promise I'll see you through

All our lives, anywhere we are
just reach out, I'll never be too far
come what may, there I'll stay
from now until the very end
anytime you need a friend
