"That's a Rodeo" is a song sung by Sandy and some live-action cows in the episode "Rodeo Daze," to explain to SpongeBob and Patrick what a rodeo is. The fiddle solo in the song, according to composer Eban Schletter, is performed by the famous songwriter and player Sara Watkins.

Lyrics

Critters that you gotta wrangle,
Cowboy suits with perty spangles,
Boots with spurs that jingle jangle,
That's a rodeo!
Tight blue jeans you gotta squeeze in,
But they sure look mighty pleasin'!
Big belt buckles are always in season!
That's a rodeo!
Rodeo... (rodeo...), rodeo... (rodeo...)
Yippie ti yay! Yippie ti yo!
Rodeo... (rodeo...), rodeo... (rodeo...)
Yippie ti yay! Yippie ti yo!
Ride that critter, don't be no quitter! Hold on tight with all your might!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeee-Ha!
That's a rodeo!
Tractor pulls and big ol' bulls,
Line dancin', horses prancin',
Barrel racin', bareback ridin',
Bronco bustin', aluminum siding
That's a rodeo!
Rodeo... (rodeo...), rodeo... (rodeo...)
Yippie ti yay! Yippie ti yo!
Rodeo... (rodeo...), rodeo... (rodeo...)
Yippie ti yay! Yippie ti yo!
[instrumental break]
[song slows down] And don't forget who makes us laugh, when we're feelin' down:
The happy, slappy, sunny, funny good ol' Rodeo Clown!
