I Was A Cow

And for one whole day last week I was a cow
Mostly I ate grass and hay and hung around
In the morning and again in the afternoon
Some farmer milked me, that felt good
And I talked the to the other cows about bean futures
We all agreed they had one

For one whole day last week I was a great big cow
Around noon some curly haired kid
Hopped a fence and said “how now”
At the end of the day I looked at the sky
And the ground
And said, Cow oh cow oh cow oh cow oh cow.

For one whole day I was a cow
For one whole day I was a cow
And even though I’m not a cow any longer
I still say cow oh cow oh cow oh cow oh cow.
