It's Show Time Somewhere!

Hello!

In an epic quest to share our new found cattle items with each other, Jessica Sweet, a member of the 2011 National Beef Ambassador team and 2010 California Beef Ambassador, and I have spent the better part of the past hour discussing our love for beef cattle!

In an attempt to show her a cool new item I found on my new favorite site "Hop the Fence: Cattle Swag", she helped me think of an idea. The item I was oogeling over I find quite interesting, but Jessica was confused by its meaning. I suggested a sub-caption of "It's Showtime", with which she responded, "Yes, it's show time somewhere." Which inspired me to write this spoof off of Alan Jackson's song, "It's 5-o clock Somewhere." We will both be at the California State Beef Ambassador Contest this Saturday in Fresn0, CA, so she made me promise to sing it to her...until then the lyrics will have to do Jess...


The barn is hot and that ol' cow is movin' slow
And so am I
School day passes like molassas in wintertime
But it's just March
Gettin' calves by the hour, they get older by the minute
This calving season almost pushes me over the limit
I'd like to call them somethin'
But think I'll just go get the hay!

Chorus:
Give me somethin' small but strong
Make it a Angus cross, somethin' that will show well.
It'll only take 8 months, but I don't care
It's show time somewhere

This jackpot is gonna take all afternoon
And into the night
Tomorrow morning I know he'll want hay
Hey, but that's all right
We ain't had a day off now in less than a year
His King Ranch vacation is gonna start right here
If the class is for me
You can tell 'em I'm on my way

Chorus:
Give me somethin' small but strong
Make it a Angus cross, somethin' that will show well.
It'll only take 8 months, but I don't care
It's show time somewhere

I could pay off my truck
Pick up a new calf and be back again before 2
At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder
What would a beef ambassador do?

Jessica Sweet spoken:
Funny you should ask, Malorie
I'd say
Give me somethin' small but strong
Make it a Angus cross, somethin' that will show well.
It'll only take 8 months, but I don't care

Give me somethin' small but strong
Make it a Angus cross, somethin' that will show well.
It'll only take 8 months, but I don't care
She don't care
It's show time somewhere



Jessica: Which jackpot is this weekend?
How many calves do you have?

Malorie: It doesn't matter

It's show time somewhere

Jessica: It's always on show time on my ranch, come to think of it

Malorie: I heard that

Jessica: You've been there haven't you?

Malorie: Yes, Ma'am

Jessica: I've seen your truck there

Malorie: I've been to the ranch a few times

Jessica: All right.
That's good

Malorie: Showed a few calves while I was there.

Jessica: OK Just want to make sure you can keep it in the show ring

Malorie: Between the barns.
I got it

Jessica: All right.

It's show time
Let's go somewhere

Malorie: I'm ready.
Crank it up

Jessica: Let's load up the trailer

Malorie: We're gone


Yes, I realize I am a complete dork. Cattle geek. Whatever you would like to call me.
I prefer the term "Cattle Enthusiast"

And remember...it's show time somewhere!

Sin-steer-ly,
Malorie
