AMERICOW PIE
(sung to,you guessed it, American Pie by Don McLean)

Long Long time ago
I can still remember
When livestock didn't fly
But I knew if they got airborne
That all mankind should be warned
Bout' pigs & cows flying overhead
They pose a danger to our species
We could get hit with flying feces
Imagine my surprise
When I saw the friendly skies
I tried to run,I tried to flee
But Bossie's headed right for me
This may cause my fatality
The day the heifer flied.

(chorus) So bye bye miss americow pie
Now I'm floating in the ocean
And I wish I was dry
The Russians sent a bovine
Sailing outta the sky
& I hope this ain't the day that I die
I hope this ain't the day that I die.

We fishermen are a hearty crew
We've done it all & seen a thing or two
But this one took us by surprise
I was standing there fishing off the bow
When I looked up & saw a flying cow
I could hardly believe my eyes
So come on Chin be nimble Chin be fast
Or this day might just be your last
Ol' Bossie hit the deck
Turned that trawler to a wreck
I saw that boat sink to the reef
When it was hit by that ton of beef
As I watched in disbelief
The day that heifer flied.

(chorus)

We got locked up in the hoosegow
When we told the cops of our flying cow
They just smiled & turned away
"We are doomed",I was afraid
For the "surf & turf" that we had made
But the judge said that the Russians had confessed
Then in the streets I heard the scream
And from the sky fell sour cream
Then we all had to laugh
When it rained half & half
Now there's two things that I fear the most
That's Russian planes & Bossies ghost
I'm heading inland from the coast
Now ...that...heifers....fly

(chorus) So bye bye miss americow pie
I'm floating in the ocean
And I wish I was dry
The Russians sent a bovine
Sailing outta the sky
And I hope this ain't the day that I die
I hope this ain't the day that I die.
