Me And The Farmer |
Me and the farmer get on fine |
Through stormy weather and bottles of wine |
If I pull my weight, he’ll treat me well |
But if I’m late, he’ll gi-i-ve me hell |
And though it’s all hard work, no play |
Farmer is a happy crook |
Jesus hates him every day |
'Cause Jesus gave and farmer took, took |
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no |
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no |
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don’t know |
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don’t know |
Me and the farmer, like brother, like sister |
Getting on like hand and blister |
Me and the farmer… |
He’s chopped down sheep, planted trees |
And helped the countryside to breathe |
Ripped up fields, bullied flocks |
And worked his workers right around the clock |
It may seem strange, but he’d admit |
Intentions aren’t exactly true |
And though God loves his wife a bit |
He hates the farmer through and through, through |
All things bright and beautiful |
All creatures great and small |
All we’ve got is London Zoo |
'Cause farmer owns them all, all |
Me and the farmer |
Me and the farmer… |
