If I had the wings of an angel. Or if I had the ass of a crow. I'd fly all over this nation and-----on the people below. Don't roost her while shes living. Don't roost here when she's gone. When eggs get a dollar a dozen thjats the I'll roost for you |

We had some chickens, no eggs would they lay We had some chickens, no eggs would they lay And I said Honey, this sure ain't funny We're losing money, no eggs would they lay. One night a Rooster came into our yard And caught them chickens right off of their gaurd They're laying eggs now just like they used ta Since the day that Rooster came into our yard We had some moo cows, no milk would they give We had some moo cows, no milk would they give And I said Honey, this sure ain't funny We're losing money, no milk would they give. One night a Rooster came into our yard (with a stool) And caught them moo cows right off of their gaurd They're giving milk now just like they used ta Since the day that Rooster came into our yard We had some elephants no tusks would they grow We had some elephants no tusks would they grow And I said Honey, this sure ain't funny We're losing money, no tusks would they grow. One night a Rooster came into our yard (with a ladder) And caught them elephants right off of their gaurd They're laying eggs now (ivory) just like they used ta Since the day that Rooster came into our yard We had a tractor it just wouldn't go We had a tractor it just wouldn't go And I said Honey, this sure ain't funny We're losing money, it just wouldn't go One night a Rooster came into our yard (with a spanner) And caught that tractor right off of its gaurd It goes and goes now, just like it used ta Since the day that Rooster came into our yard Dyw genes Baz |

The line is :re the cow; Their're giving eggnog, just like they used to Then we go to gumtree that would not give gum and: It's giving chicklets, just like .... Dog and pooched eggs. gaspump and Eggzon or Shell Not sure how the tractor and elephant fits. And that's the folk process. Richard |
