The Lyrics

When I want food on the farm,
I get sharp tools from the big barn.
Whenever I want food,
All I have to do is reap,
Reap, reap, reap.

When I want food late at night,
I get my tools for a bite.
Whenever I want food,
All I have to do is reap.

I could slay some kine,
Tastin' unlike swine,
'Cause they dine on fine hay.
Only trouble, this: meat nix!
I'm vegan; kine-dine not OK!

I feed on oats; they're kinda dry,
My lunch has no matter I fry.
Whenever I want food,
All I have to do is reap.

I am feeling lithe,
So I grab my scythe,
Gonna try cut some hay.
Only trouble is: me miss,
My jeans too light to save the day.

I'm bleeding so that I could die,
I find a rope--tourniquet tie.
Whenever I want food
Now all that I chew is meat,
Meat, meat, meat,
From butcher down the street,
Street, street, street. . . .

Readers don't fear The JB
He makes 'em grin with the fun of his brain
We can read like they do
Come on baby
Don't fear The JB
Baby read this man
Don't fear The JB
Barry's a fun-ny guy
Don't fear The JB
He's a funny man ...

Hilarious, John. And I've been meaning to ask you since I saw a movie the other night with John Barry listed as the MUSIC, COMPOSED BY author. Are you related to him?
John Barry - June 02, 2005 - Report this comment
Thanks, Jd (love the cowbell comment), Kristof, Alvin, Dee--no relation. Also John Barry, one of the writers of the Newsweek piece about the Koran down the toilet. No relation to him either.
