ok my 2 cents......... (cus I'm a little anal)... I don't think the animals need names... You can just say the pig did this and the goat did that and here comes the rat from the barn........... also...if you're gonna do the kind of song I think you are, you can't waste any lines repeating themselves. Fun song, I dig it.....if you want me to butt out I will. LOL

ie..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<<< back forty #1
brings every soul for miles around all jammed into the seats

The cows ain't chewin’ tobacco, far too busy with their cud<< nothing to do with the game
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<< 1st line of chorus should be stronger since the chickens aren’t playing the game anyway

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<<< shaggin flies #1 Back forty#2
you gotta love the farm team playing the all American game

Billy Goat will headbutt balls then kick his can and run<<< headbutt balls too hard to sing
Thumper gets to hop to first it's hard to find his zone
No one wants to hit to shortstop everybody fears<<<<love this, who’s the shortstop?
The trusty family dog who's been shagging flies for years<<< shaggin flies #2

The ump was calling balls and strikes his glasses on the fritz<< whos the ump? (rat?)
Safes and outs were thrown about when anybody hit
Ducks quacked from the sidelines, dawdling waddlers dropping doos << Dawdling waddlers? Mouthful

T-bone adds some action to his slider with manure <, which animal is T-bone

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

"It Mattered to THAT One"
