Sherman Sheep- Part Two of Bovine One

The sheep in the nearby pasture Heard what the cows had done In the building of their rocket ship And they too wanted one A few of them shaved for pocket money Black market wool brings a hefty price While some went out to Las Vegas To try their luck at the roll of the dice First thing they did with the money Was to spring for Sherman's release The only one in the family to go to Harvard Though it was for experiments on his mind which apparently they fleeced Right away they noticed something odd about Sherman Something that just wasn't quite right But passed it off as genius quirkiness And let that idea slide by They told Sherman what it was they wanted Said he had a mad...um...master plan All the sheep turned and Baaa'd together What was that, that he just said? For weeks all they heard was banging and clanging From inside their farmers shed The only activity they saw outside The massive delivery of Dominos crazy bread One day the shed doors flew wide open There stood Sherman as mad as acid rain No doubt among the sheep in the pasture He was Bonkers, Loony, Loopy...okay Sherman's insane As he drug his creation into the open Not a one in the crowd uttered a word Till little Bobby Black Sheep spoke up and said Is that a cows udder?...is that what they think that they just herd?! Sherman took that moment of bewilderment To swing onto udder #4 Strapping himself inside of his contraption And shooting off for the stars Sherman is still up there circling the planet Did you hear about the phenomenon in Spain? Just the other day something amazing there happened There was the pouring of milk instead of rain... But we know how that miracle happened And that it came from the udders galore Cause when your traveling through space like Sherman What else would udders be for Just heard from the Pigs... They too want a piece of this action...
