There's a cowboy song, "Punchin' the Dough", sung from the point of view
of the old camp cook:
Come gather 'round, waddies, I'll sing you a song
Stand back from the wagon, stay where you belong
I hear you complainin' I'm fussy and slow
While you're punchin' cattle, I'm punchin' the dough.
... and 5 or 6 more verses.
