My Mighty moo

We’re rolling through the countryside, I see a field of cows

Dad slows the car, I shout aloud, my mouth is mooing now!

The cows look up from munching as they hear my silly, ‘Moo’

They think, ‘Is this guy crazy, has he nothing else to do?’

I moo a little louder, surely one will moo me back!

The cows continue eating, sadly I don’t have the knack

I send out one last mighty, ‘Moo!’, from the back seat of Dad’s car

And finally it happened and what happened was bizarre!

The cows stood on their back legs, stiff bolt upright, they could stand!

They all joined hooves together, they were forming a cow band!

Then they started mooing and they sang a merry song

They were singing in the paddock, and I began to sing along!

‘Moo’, we sang together, and the cows began to prance

They kicked their legs and spun around, it was a mooing dance!

I clapped my hands and stamped my feet, I mooed until I cried

The cows put on a fine display, all dancing side by side

My Dad turned in his seat and yelled, ‘What’s all this fuss about?’

‘If you keep mooing like a cow I think, I’ll have to throw you out!’

‘But Dad’, I said, ’I’m singing and the cows are singing too!’

‘Can’t you see them? Can’t you hear them? Dad, listen to them Moo!’

But Dad he couldn’t hear them, he was staring at the road

If he just wound down his window, he might hear their mighty ode!

Or if he looked into his mirror he might see their farmyard dance

But my Dad just kept on driving and he missed his only chance

Then a farmer came from nowhere with some farming implements

But to my shock they weren’t farm tools, but barnyard instruments!

He handed out some drumsticks, flutes, guitars and brass trombones

And last of all he gave the cows ten golden microphones!

Then the cows all played together and they sang a happy tune

And far off in the distance one cow jumped over the moon!

As they reached their moo finale, fireworks burst amongst the sky!

The mooing song was ending and tears of joy formed in my eyes

I said, ‘Dad, did you see them? All the cows all singing moo?’

He said, ‘Son, don’t be silly, I’ve got better things to do!’

The cows then took a bow, dropped their heads and began to chew

Then one cow stood and waved at me and sang out one last, ‘Mooooo!”
