lyrics

Farmer, I thought your
Good lookin’ daughter
Was a lamb to the slaughter
We jumped in the water
The water was fine

Farmer, I made an offer
To your good lookin’ daughter
Like two drunken otters
We jumped in the water
The water was fine

We drove from the ice cream stand
Down rocky roads all sugar-cone tan
Like Princess Camilla
Her skin was vanilla
Beneath my sticky hand

She was jumpy and her call was on hold
On the bridge above the telephone pole
Like Queen Nefertiti
She did her graffiti
All turquoise and gold

She said, Honey, this sting makes it clear
This buzz isn’t just from the beer
Like Abraham Lincoln
Our glasses were winking
Till they disappeared

Then her horse broke one of its legs
And the hens wouldn’t give up their eggs
Like an old Mr. Coffee
My tears colored toffee
And left with just dregs

Maybe I’ll see you around
But at the square dance she laid her hoe down
