Because my calf became his COW;
left my dad-'Twas wrong Of
course
Because my colt became his horse.
left my dad to SOW and reap
Because my lamb became his sheep !:
dropped my hoe and stuck my
fork
Because my pig became his pork,
The garden truck I made to grow
Was his to sell and mine to hoe."
WHY ANOTHER ONE DIDN'T
with dad and me it's half and half,
The COW I own was once his calf:
No town for mine, will not bolt, ,
Because my horse was once his colt;
I'm going to stick right where 1 am
Because my sheep was once his
lamb:
I'll stay with dad-he gets my vote,
Because my pig was once his shoat;
It's 'fifty-fifty' with dad and me-
A profit sharing company"
