Farming

Farming - Danny Kaye

Here's a bit of news that's quite a shocker

Proving mother nature still has charm

Quoting Mr. Charley Knickerbocker

Get in the swim and buy a barn

Acres of alfalfa fields of clover

Suddenly enchant our top who's who

So the moment all this rowel is over

What say that we go hay seed to

For farming that's the fashion

Farming that's the fashion of our great celebrities of today

Kit Cornell is shelling peas

Lady Mendl's climbing trees

Dear May West is at her best in the hay

Singin' while they're raking

Bringin' home the bacon

Makes them feel more glamorous and more gay

They tell me cows when they're feelin' milky

All give cream when they're milked by Willkie

Oh farming it's so charming they all say

Oh farming that's the fashion

Farming that's the fashion of the great celebrities of today

Yeah yeah

Five o'clock the cock is crowing

Though the frost is on the pumpkin

Back to sleep you can't be going

If you want to be a bumpkin

It's so chic for Look or Peek

To take your picture with a guernsey

In the wilds of old Connecticut

Or possibly New Jersey

Mussin up the clover

Cussin' when it's over

Makes them feel more glamorous and more gay today

Hart and Kaulfman in Bucks County

Pulled a farm and killed a diller

When they planted in their corn fields

All their clippings from Drew Miller

Farming it's so charming they all say

Farming that's the fashion

Farming that's the passion of our great celebrities of today

Bernard Shaw doing turkey in the straw

Don't enquire of Georgie Raft

Why his cow has never calfed

Georgey's bull is beautiful but he's gay

Mussin' up the clover

Cussin' when it's over

Makes them feel informal and degage

The natives think it's utterly utter

When Margie Hart starts churning her butter

Farming is so charming they all say
