Story behind the song

The song won the Ottawa City Song Contest. However, according to one of the judges Harvey Glatt of Chez F.M. radio in Ottawa the song contest was fixed and they gave the winning title to the second prize winner because he said "she was better known" and he personally apologized and said he was against the fixing. 
The mayor Greenberg himself and family came to the Raceway Tavern where I was playing and bought some 45's.
I would like to have this wrong rectified if I can.

I'm the king of the Ottawa City Cowboys
I ride the electric bull
My horse is parked at a metered stall
And thrives on Texaxo fuel

I play my guitar my harp beat my drum
Even moan you a sad country tune
And I sing for all the ladies
At the Raceway Tavern Saloon

All day I work for the man on the hill
In a three piece suit and a tie
But tonight I'm goin to change all of this
Climb into my M.G. and ride

I've mastered all the new country disco techniques
In a way that you've never seen
By day I work by night I play
In my sexy skin tight blue jeans

I toast y'a'll concrete city cowboys
The hard workin beer drinkin kind
May the landlord give you a credit
For what you drink here you do leave behind

And to all you gals at the barstools
Don't pay that ol cowboy no mind
For when a cowboy is sad it's not half as bad
He'll do a computer game one more time

(At the time I was doing a one man show playing my guitar a bass drum and an harmonica)
