Counting the Cattle

I'm countin' the cattle, one, two, three, four, five

I'm countin' the cattle

Just to check if they're alive

I'm countin' the cattle, six, seven, eight, nine, ten

I'm countin' the cattle once again

Well, the first little cow

She went for a climb, she went up the mountain

Then there was just nine

The second little cow went out for a date

Discovered it was Wolfie

And then we were eight

I'm countin' the cattle, one, two, three, four, five

I'm countin' the cattle

Just to check if they're alive

I'm countin' the cattle, six, seven, eight, nine, ten

I'm countin' my cattle once again

Well, number three and number four

They were long-horned chicks

They met some horny bulls

And now I'm only countin' six

Number five, six, and seven went out without their key

And now they're hangin' at the butchers

And I'm only counting three

I'm countin' the cattle, one, two, three, four, five

I'm countin' the cattle

Just to check if they're alive

I'm countin' the cattle, six, seven, eight, nine, ten

I'm countin' my cattle once again

Well, the eight and the nine said, "We're never havin' fun"

And then they packed their things and left

And now I'm only countin' one!

Now you see, we're alone, me and my lady

She is brown-spotted, cheerful

And she's jolly

Now she milks herself every day

And she promised me that she'll stay

But our son is a mutant

But who gives a damn?

I mean, when the folks

Downtown, calls us

Mister and ma'am!

I'm countin' the cattle, one, two, three, four, five

I'm countin' the cattle

Just to check if they're alive

I'm countin' the cattle, six, seven, eight, nine, ten

I'm countin' the cattle once again

I'm countin' the cattle once again
