Down on the Farm

(Melanie Thompson)

If you were lucky enough to have lived on a farm and wondered what your animals did when you were not there, you may find these lyrics interesting. The phrasing of these lyrics may confuse the city folks. But I'm sure the country folks will have no problem with them.

Verse 1. 
 There's a red hot rooster
 sitting with his hens.
 Puffing up some blue grass.
 Plucking on his mandolin.
 He's a go all-nighter.
 Go late 'til the late A.M.
 Where's that rowdy rooster?
 He's out the barn again.

Chorus.
 Singing, 
 Down on the farm.
 Down on the farm.
 Dancing,
 Down on the farm.
 Down on the farm. 
 Drinking,
 Down on the farm.
 Down on the farm.
 Staying,
 out of the barn
 down on the farm.

Verse 2. 
 There's a fine wine filly
 dancing on hind legs. 
 She is acting silly. 
 Unlike any thoroughbred.
 She won't wear side saddle.
 Don't want no picket fence.
 Where's that feisty filly?
 She's out the barn again. 

Chorus.
 Singing, 
 Down on the farm.
 Down on the farm.
 Dancing,
 Down on the farm.
 Down on the farm. 
 Drinking,
 Down on the farm.
 Down on the farm.
 Staying,
 out of the barn
 down on the farm.

Verse 3.
 There's a porky piglet 
 hogging all the gin.
 He's one sassy Suzy.
 Living in his own skin. 
 He puts on his is make-up 
 before he leaves his pen. 
 Where's that little piggy? 
 He's out the barn again.

Chorus.
 Singing, 
 Down on the farm.
 Down on the farm.
 Dancing,
 Down on the farm.
 Down on the farm. 
 Drinking,
 Down on the farm.
 Down on the farm.
 Staying,
 out of the barn
 down on the farm.

Verse 4.
 There's a lazy hound dog 
 sniffing in the wind. 
 He is smelling trouble
 coming up around the bend.
 He howls, "It's the farmer.
 Hurry, ya'll get in!"
 Then it's back to the barn once again.

Outro.
 They go,
 Back to the barn.
 Flying,
 Back to the barn.
 Flapping,
 Back to the barn.
 Crawling,
 Back to the barn. 
 Scatting,
 Back to the barn.
 Hoofing,
 Back to the barn.
 Shooing, 
 Back to the barn.
 Running,
 Back to the barn.
 Back to that safe warm place
 down on the farm.
