Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Lives on a farm, got plenty of charm, beep, beep. He's got no cows but he's sure got a whole lotta sheep. And brand new wife and a family, And when he comes to town, I wonder if he'll play with me. Laying in bed, watching tv, cookie! With his mama by his side, she's japanese. They scream and they cried, now they're free, And when he comes to town, I know he's gonna play with me. He's a long-haired, cross-legged guitar picker, um-um. With his long-legged lady in the garden picking daisies for his soup. A forty acre house he doesn't see, 'Cause he's always in town Playing for you with me. I play guitar, a - d - e. I don't play bass 'cause that's too hard for me. I play the piano if it's in c. And when I go to town I wanna see all three, And when I go to town I wanna see all three, And when I go to town I wanna see all three.
