Natasha L Scragg Poet Lyric

Tuppin' Time - a Farmyard Parody

( To be sang to the tune of,  " Steppin' Time "
   From the musical Mary Poppins... )


( Rams )

Here's the farmer, tuppin' time!
Here's the farmer, tuppin' time!
How many girls will we meet this time?
Here's the farmer, tuppin' time!


( A Ewe )

Here's the farmer, tuppin' time.
Hey you girls, this Ram is mine!
And I think he's so divine!
Here's the farmer, tuppin' time!


( Another Ewe )

This one's strong and full of might.
He has speckles that are white.
And his  " Baaa! "  sounds just like mine!
Here's the farmer, tuppin' time!


( Rams )

Will our lambs be Ram or Ewe?
Will our sheep have one or two?
We must wait for nature too...
We must tuppin' til we're through!


( An Independent Ewe )

Well, those Rams can keep their place!
I won't fall for a square face!
" Tuppin's not for me! " I'll say.
If they come near, I'll run away!


( All Sheep x2 )

Here's the farmer, tuppin' time!
Baa ba baa baa baa baa baa!
Here's the farmer, tuppin' time!
Baa ba baa baa baa baa baa!

Anne E Sangster - K March 5, 2022 at 3:31 PM Lol... This is excellent Natasha! What a fun lyric and so cool that it's to the tune of step in time. Love it! :-D I'm putting this one in my favs Cheers Anne :-) Natasha L Scragg March 7, 2022 at 5:51 AM Thanks Anne. I really enjoyed writing this one. I live on a farm that has sheep, a small amount of cows and thousands of hens so I sometimes find myself wondering what they think and how they communicate. And the sheep get noisy at this particular time when rams and lambs are on the scene :-D :-D it's so fun to express the funny side in poetry when we see it. Xx
