lyrics

Farmers are your masters
The keepers of tractors and hoes
Putting on their iron jackets
And they're ready to go
Never take their socks off
Trousers tall as trees
Carrying round a haystack
They lift 'em up with ease

Farmers!
They're kings of the countryside
Farmers!
You'd better run and hide
They eat chickens as a snack,
And they drink fresh mud
They were born to be farmers,
It's in their blood
Farmers!
They're working day and night
Farmers!
Feel their power and their might
If you see a farmer coming,
You'd better be prepared
They eat whole pigs for breakfast,
And they don't even care

They smoke massive pipes,
And they pull ploughs by themselves
No need for bulls or horses,
Farmers do it just as well
When a farmer gets angry,
There's nothing you can do
He'll cover your house in dung
Watch out! He's coming for you!

They crush eggs with their minds
And they eat all the time
They build windmills for fun
Even though it's a crime
They always keep a dog on their bedside table
Just in case they get peckish in the night

I'm coming to get you!

Farmers!
They're lords of livestock
Farmers!
They'll give you a shock
If you're expecting something nice,
Then be prepared for a surprise
He won't let you feed his animals
He ate them all last night

Farmer's gonna harm ya
Wear a suit of armour

Get off my land!
