| The Wicky-Nicky Farmer inspired by an old song in the Pennsylvania German |
| I wish I were a farmer - The land would fill my soul - With horses green and yellow cows And pigs as black as coal I wish I were a farmer On Wicky-Nicky creek I’d shoot the sweet potato bugs On six days of the week My barn will be full Of Holstein geese My sheep will weave pajamas From their polka-dotted fleece My hound will lay pink eggs That hatch red cats My ducks will eat beef And I’ll feed bacon to the bats I’m starting a new fashion In winter I’ll make hay Summer-times, I’ll sit out Eating cherry pie all day I’ll give my German wife A tin-foil house My plow will be pulled By a team of ruffled grouse With carpet on the ceiling Pigs wallow at my door I’ll wear paper overalls Hang lanterns from my floor I’ll bathe once a week In a tub of sauerkraut Can anyone please tell me What this rhyme is all about? I wish I were a farmer With pretzels, wine and beer I’d hunt all night for chipmunks Riding on my purple deer We all will live in peace On Wicky-Nicky farm An empty-head with belly full Won’t come to any harm |
