i'm countin' the cattle once again

well

the first little cow

she went for a climb

fell off the mountain

and then we were 9

the second little cow

she went out for a date

discovered it was wolfie

and then we were 8

i'm countin'. well

number 3 and number 4 they were longhorned chicks

met some horny bulls

and now i'm only countin' 6

number 5

6 & 7 went out without their key

the're hanging at the butchers

and i'm only counting 3

i'm countin'. well

the 8*9 said: - we're never havin'

fun! they packed their things

and left! and i'm only countin' 1!

well

here we are

me and molly

she is brown-spottet

cheerful

and she's jolly

our son is a muuhtant

but who gives a damn

i mean

when the folks

downtown

calls us: mister and mam!

i'm counting'.
