lyrics

How many chickens does the landlord eat?
How many chickens does the landlord need?
How many children does the landlord feed?
Can’t be more than two or three
So why can’t the landlord leave any chickens for me?

How many cows does the landlord want?
How many cows does he already got?
What’s he gonna do with the whole damn lot?
What’s he gonna do when they tramp on his seeds?
So why can’t the landlord leave any cows for me?
Why can’t the landlord leave any cows for me?

Oh me, oh mum
He’ll get his when it comes
He’ll get his when it comes

How many pigs does the landlord take?
How many pigs does the landlord bake?
What’s he gonna do when they get trapped in the mud?
What’s he gonna do when they fight and they fuss?
Why’s can’t the landlord leave any pigs for us?
Why can’t the landlord leave any cows for me?
Why can’t the landlord leave any chickens for me?
