Subject: Lyr Add: COMBINE HARVESTER (The Wurzels)
Now, here's one that would be a big hit back home in rural Wisconsin (YouTube):
COMBINE HARVESTER (BRAND NEW KEY)
(Melanie Safka / Brendan O'Shaughnessy -
- Parody of Melanie Safka's "Brand New Key")
The Wurzels (vocal: Pete Budd) - 1976
I drove my tractor
Through yur 'aystack last night (Ooh-arrhh, ooh-arrhh)
I threw me pitchfork at yur dog
To keep quiet (Ooh-arrhh, ooh-arrhh)
Now somethin's tellin' me
That you'm avoidin' me
Come on now, darlin'
You've got somethin' I need
'Cause I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
Come on now let's get together
In perfect harmony
I got twenty acres
An' you got forty-three
Now I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
SPOKEN: She made I laugh, ha-ha
I'll stick by you
I'll give you all that you need
We'll 'ave twins and triplets
I'm a man built for speed
And you know I'll love you, darlin'
So give me yur hand
But what I want the most
Is all they acres of land
'Cause I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
Come on now let's get together
In perfect harmony
I got twenty acres
An' you got forty-three
Now I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
SPOKEN: Ooh-aah, she's a lovely bit of stuff an' all
For seven long years
I've been alone in this place
Eat, sleep, in the kitchen
It's a proper disgrace
Now if I cleaned it up
Would you change your mind
I'll give up drinkin' scrumpy
And that lager and lime
'Cause I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
Come on now let's get together
In perfect harmony
I got twenty acres
An' you got forty-three
Now I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
SPOKEN: Who loves ya, baby, ha
Weren't we a grand couple
At that last wurzel dance
I wore brand new gaiters
And me corduroy pants
In your new Sunday dress
With your perfume smellin' grand
We had our photos took
An' us holdin' hands
Now I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
Now that we'me both past our fifties
I think that you and me
Should stop this galavanting
And will you marry me
'Cause I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
SPOKEN: Aahh, yu're a fine lookin' woman
and I can't wait to get me 'ands on yur land

Yeah, I know....it's been posted here before, but never in a thread with "combine harvester" in the title.
