The Nightingales sang in tune
The dog barked

The cow mooed at the moon
The pelican swallowed
The fish hollered
The owl said twit to woo
Two...

...The day my life went so crazy
Was when I laid eyes on Daisy
She was an old sow
Who mooed like a cow
And drove all farmhands crazy
We tried to put her in a field
But sadly that pig...
