I was in no mood to trifle I took down my trusty rifle And went out to stalk my prey What a haul I made that day! I tied them to my fender and I drove them home somehow: Two Game Wardens, seven hunters, and a cow! The law was very firm, it Took away my permit The worst punishment I ever endured It turned out there was a reason: Cows were out of season And one of the hunters wasn't insured People ask me how I do it And I say, "There's nothing to it! I just stand there looking cute... And when something moves, I shoot!" And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now: Two Game Wardens... Seven hunters... And a pure-bred Guernsey cow! |
