Way [D] down on the farm we are [A7] right up to [D] date,
For mechanization's the [A7] byword of late.
For [D] every task, there's a [G] gadget to [D] match,
But our new muck-spreader's the [A7] best of the [D] batch.
{c: }
[D] Fling it [G] here, Fling it [D] there,
If you're standing by then you'll [A7] all get your [D] share.
{c: }
Now [D] young Walter Hodgkins, he [G] brought back a [D] load
Of liquid manure from the [A7] farm up the road.
He [D] hummed to himself as he [G] drove up the [D] street,
And his load also hummmmmmmmmmmed in the [A7] afternoon [D] heat.
{c: }
[D] Fling it [G] here, Fling it [D] there,
If you're standing by then you'll [A7] all get your [D] share.
{c: }
The [D] this muck-spreader had a [A7] mechanical [D] fault,
And a bump in the road turned it [A7] on with a jolt.
An [D] odorous spray of manure [G] it let [D] fly
Without fear or favor on [A7] all who passed [D] by.
{c: }
[D] Fling it [G] here, Fling it [D] there,
If you're standing by then you'll [A7] all get your [D] share.
{c: }
The [D] cats and the dogs stank to [A7] high kingdom [D] come,
And the kiddies, browned off, ran home [A7] screaming to Mum.
The [D] trail of sheer havoc were [G] terrible [D] grim,
One open car were filled [A7] up to the [D] brim.
{c: }
[D] Fling it [G] here, Fling it [D] there,
If you're standing by then you'll [A7] all get your [D] share.
{c: }
The [D] vicarage windows were [A7] all open [D] wide,
When a generous helping de[A7]scended inside.
The [D] vicar, at table, intoned "[G] Let us [D] pray"
When this manure from heaven came [A7] flying his [D] way.
{c: }
[D] Fling it [G] here, Fling it [D] there,
If you're standing by then you'll [A7] all get your [D] share.
{c: }
In [D] the garden, Miss Pringle was [A7] quite scanda[D]lized.
"Good [D] gracious!" she cried, "I've [A7] been fertilized."
While [D] the Methodist minister's [G] teetotal [D] wife
Were plastered for the very first [A7] time in her [D] life.
{c: }
[D] Fling it [G] here, Fling it [D] there,
If you're standing by then you'll [A7] all get your [D] share.
{c: }
And [D] all of this time Walter [A7] trundled a-[D]long,
He was [D] quite unaware there was [A7] anything wrong,
Till [D] a vision of woe flagged him [G] down - what a [D] sight!
A policeman all covered in . . . [A7] you've got it [D] right.
