Mimes of the Old West Lyrics
(Words: Mark/Music: Jordan, Mark, Cobra Joe)
I was talking with someone about the scripture, "Whatever you do unto the least of these, you do unto me." I was asked "Who are the least of these?" "MIMES!!!" Before any angry mimes start sending off imaginary hate mail (at least they can't yell at us)...it's just a joke. We understand your struggle.
They'd throw imaginary ropes around imaginary cattle
No one was amused
They'd get themselves all trapped inside invisible boxes
At best they seemed confused
Yeah but you've got to respect them
Sure they were weird
These were the true pioneers
(Chorus)
No one had it harder
These boys passed the test
No one got beat up more often
Than the mimes of the old west
Well people these days they feel so sorry for themselves
They think they've got it hard
Try walking through Dodge City in the 1800's
Dressed in a unitard
And though the odds were against them
They would prevail
They knew they just couldn't fail
(Chorus)
No one had it harder
Rightfully so I guess
No one got beat up more often
Than the mimes of the old west
They stood there blind to the hatred
On with the show
They paved the way for the great Marcel Marceau
(Chorus)
No one had it harder
Rightfully so I guess
No one got beat up more often
Than the mimes of the old west
