now includes an ump and Dicky is off to the abbatoir smile


The Farm Team


Lazy days of summer brings our team onto the field
Fans all have our favourites, we support them with our cheers
bet you didn't know our farm back forty's diamond dreams
brings every soul for miles around all jammed into the seats

The cows ain't chewin’ tobacco, far too busy with their cud
They're taking on all challengers from all around the farm
Gus the Goose is rounding first he's flying down the line
Where Bill the Bull is waiting for him squarely in his sights

chorus
The chickens all have flown the coop, the barn doors closed too late
when cows come home they will have shown they're not too slow to play
they're all on the back forty shagging flies like stubborn mules
you gotta love the farm team playing the all American game

Billy Goat will headbutt balls then kick his can and run
Thumper gets to hop to first it's hard to find his zone
No one wants to hit to shortstop everybody fears
The trusty family dog who's been shagging flies for years

The ump was calling balls and strikes his glasses on the fritz
Safes and outs were thrown about when anybody hit
Ducks quacked from the sidelines, dawdling waddlers dropping doos
T-bone adds some action to his slider with manure

everyone's got a role to play except the baryard cat
far too busy sleeping, chasing mice, and the flying kind of bat

chorus
The chickens all have flown the coop, the barn doors closed too late
when cows come home they will have shown they're not too slow to play
they're all on the back forty shagging flies like stubborn mules
you gotta love the farm team playing the all American game

there's only one place better on a lazy afternoon
that's with the farm team on the road to play the local zoo

If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
