The Hero Farmer

My wife says I'm her hero Her knight in shining armor My tractor is my batmobile Disguised as a simple farmer I'll save those chickens from that fox Each night when the sun goes down I'll make that chicken coop safe again For my fame is county renown I'm known as the garden protector Those vermin had better take heed I've even taken a solid oath To hunt down every weed My costume is my overalls Complete with magic boots I tromp around in cow manure And kick up stubborn roots My hideout is a big red barn Built on bottom land Protecting all the animals With a pitchfork in my hand I met my wife at the farmer's market She said I was quite the charmer Of course she didn't have any idea That she was marrying the Hero Farmer
