THE HUMAN CONDITION:
FUN AT THE FARM

NOT necessarily, and usually not on a farm, but anywhere

Lyrics

I went to a farm, and saw with alarm
That the farmer tripped over a chair,
Then slipped his heels on banana peels,
His feet went up in the air, they did,
His feet went up in the air. 

If that wasn't enough of this crazy stuff,
The farmer's wife ran into a tree.
She hopped away and later that day,
Poor lady, scraped her knee, oh dear,
Poor lady scraped her knee.


And the horses went mooooo
The cows neighed too,
The rooster he was cacklin'
The goats and the sheep,
Woke up from their sleep
When the pigs were loudly quackin'


Then I hit my head on a barnyard shed,
As I ran away from a small flee,
'Twas then I knew, it's perfectly true,
THAT A FARM IS A GREAT PLACE, A GREAT PLACE TO BE

Yup! The farm is where we all want to be...
The farmer, his wife, and me.... that's three.

The Farm Rag
