Counting The Cattle

(album: Call Of The Wild - 1986)

I'm counting the cattle: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
I'm counting the cattle
Just to check if there alive
I'm counting' the cattle: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
I'm counting the cattle once again

Well, the first little cow
She went for a climb, fell off the mountain
And then we were 9
The second little cow, she went out for a date
Discovered it was Wolfie
And then we were 8

I'm counting...

Well, number 3 and number 4 they were longhorned chicks
Met some horny bulls
And now I'm only counting 6

Number 5, 6 & 7 went out without their key
The're hanging at the butchers
And I'm only counting 3

I'm counting...

Well, the 8·9 said: We're never having
Fun! They packed their things
And left! And I'm only counting 1!

Well, here we are
Me and Molly
She is brown-spottet, cheerful
And she's jolly
Our son is a muuhtant
But who gives a damn
I mean, when the folks
Downtown, calls us:
Mister and mam!

I'm counting'...
