Tell me not in broken measures
Modern farming does not pay,
For farm produces chickens,
And hens-do they not law
Eggs are high and going higher,
And the price is soaring fast,
Every time we get to market
II is higher than the last.
Not a coop but produces
Every day an egg or two,
So each farmer gains his millions
Even though his hens be few.
Every egg is very precious,
And the hens are held in awe,
When a hen begins to cackle
Then the farmer goes: "Haw, haw

Struts a rooster now and then,

Only notices the hen.

And your wealth will never fail.

We may roll in wealth some day,
