I think cnd's transcription is very close. My suggested corrections are in [square brackets] below, with a question mark where I'm less convinced. Verses 2 and 3 made me think of Ralph McTell's "Bright and Beautiful Things" MOO COWS POO Come to the country, where the local yokels live Smell the rustic air and the muck heaps too See the weakly [wiggly] worm as the early sparrow swallows it Out in the country where the moo cows poo CHORUS Moo cows poo; [ALTERNATES] yes they do Out in the country where the moo cows poo Come to the country, where the merry milkmaids live See the cheeky sparrow and the sparrow hawk too Swoop, squall [squawk], oh dear! The sparrow's not so cheeky now Out in the country where the moo cows poo CHORUS (just like you) Come to the country where the jolly farmer lives See him out a-walking with his shotgun too Spots the handsome sparrow hawk, puts both [full?] barrels into it Out in the country where the moo cows poo CHORUS (on your shoe) Come to the country, where the food you eat comes from See the supermarket man, well-to-do Got[Talk?] to the farmer, look! He's not so jolly now His milk, he's heard, is worth no more than moo cows' poo CHORUS (in full view) Come to the country, where the peace and quiet is Buy a country cottage like your friends all do Wonder where the yokels, the milkmaids, and the farmer went Out in the country where the moo cows poo CHORUS (though you sue) CHORUS (just for you)
