I'm a Real Cowboy

Publisher	Sesame Street Inc.
First	Episode 1965

"I'm a Real Cowboy" was sung by Forgetful Jones, Clementine, and a few cowboys (with Buster the Horse). The song revolves around Clementine and the other cowboys singing to Forgetful Jones to remind him of what they are, giving many clues, and when it's time for Forgetful to say what they are, he always gives an incorrect answer. Eventually, they give up, but Forgetful Jones tells them that cowboys never give up.
