[Alvin]:
Cowboys ain't easy to love
And they're harder to hold
They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
Shiny belt buckles and old faded levis
And each night begins a new day

If you don't understand him
And he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away

[The Chipmunks]:
Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

[Alvin]:
Chipmunks

[Dave]:
Alvin

[The Chipmunks]:
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

[Alvin]:
Chipmunks
[Dave]:
Alvin

The Chipmunks:
No, they'll never stay home
And they're always alone
Even with someone they love

[Alvin]:
Chipmunks like shady oak trees
And roasted acorns (hrrr)
Not doing homework
And staying up late every night

[Dave]:
Alvin

[Alvin]:
Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do
Sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong
He's just different
But his pride won't let him
Do things to make you think he's right
[The Chipmunks]:
Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

[Alvin]:
Chipmunks

[Dave]:
Quit it!

[The Chipmunks]:
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be

[Theodore]:
Chipmunks

[Dave]:
Theodore

The Chipmunks:
No, they'll never stay home
And they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be chipmunks
[Dave]:
Fellas

The Chipmunks:
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be chipmunks

[Dave]:
It's not chipmunks
It's cowboys!

[The Chipmunks]:
No, they'll never stay home
And they're always alone
Even with someone they love
