And All the Words Were Gone

from You and Me (Songs for Kids) by Andrew Rodger

about

What happens when you have the perfect opening lines to a song, but you are just about to fall asleep and don't get up to write them down? Nine times out of ten, they are forgotten by morning.

When this happened to me and all my words were gone, I figured I'd stroll through the barnyard asking for some help. Unfortunately, cows, cats, sheep and pigs don't speak, so the song took an interesting twist...

lyrics

Sat down to write a song but all my words were gone
I looked in the closet I looked in the barn
But all I found was a yarn
I asked the sheep but I got nothing
And so I asked the cow
All she said was moo so I wrote this song for you

Moo moo moo moo moo moo moo
Moo moo moo moo moo moo moo

Sat down to write a song but all my words were gone
I looked in the closet I looked in the barn
All I found was a yarn
I asked the dog but I got nothing
And so I asked the cat
All she said was meow so I wrote this song right now

Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow
Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow

Sat down to write a song but all my words were gone
I looked in the closet I looked in the barn
All I found was a yarn
I asked the pig but I got nothing
And so I asked a pony
All she said was neigh so I wrote this song today

Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh
Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh

If this song makes any sense to you
Be sure to let me know
My head is full of neighs meows and moos
I should have asked the crow
I should have asked the crow
