Starshine Singers - Down on the Farm Lyrics

Time to give the 5 o’ clock alarm.
It’s another morning on the farm.
Jack Time for me to earn my keep
And play my part.
So much to do I really don’t know
Where to start.

Maybe you should start with good ol’ Daisy.
She’s been a little lazy for a week or two.

Jack I’m sick and tired of waiting
For her to start lactating!
Better find another job to do.

You’ve got to:
Plant the seeds and pull the weeds
And feed all the chickens.
Livin’ on a farm is quite slim pickin’s.
Time to muck the pigs out.
If only you could get out
Of cleaning up the hay and piggy do,
Doo, do-doo, doo, dooo!

Oink, oink, oink. Yee hah!

Just keep calm and cut the corn.
A farmer’s work is never done.
There’s a job for everyone.
Shear the sheep and spin the yarn.
Pack and stack and fill the barn.
It’s a hard life - down on the farm.

Come on Daisy, you’re his little cash cow!
Time to take the bull by the horns right now.
He’s poor as a church mouse,
His piggy bank’s run dry.
Come on Daisy, give it one more try.

If you don’t give us milk,
You will have to go!
Guess I’ll still be trying
’Til the cows come home!

Plant the seeds and pull the weeds
And feed all the chickens.
Livin’ on a farm is quite slim pickin’s.
There’s no use complaining.
At least it isn’t raining...
Uh-oh...

Oh well, shucks,
It’s nice weather for ducks!
Quack, quack, quack...

I used to take vacations,
Had higher aspirations
Than being stuck in heaps of
Smelly dung!
Phwoar! Yee hah!

Just keep calm and cut the corn.
A farmer’s work is never done.
There’s a job for everyone.
Shear the sheep and spin the yarn.
Pack and stack and fill the barn.
It’s a hard life - down on the farm.
