The sheep were in the meadow
The cows were in the corn
And I was up in heaven
One sweet September morn
She kissed me once, she kissed me twice,
And oh it was so thrilling
I was no doubt that she was nice
And I was not unwilling
Oh she told me in the meadow
What I believed was true
But the cows went (Moo)
The sheep went (Baa)
When she said “I love you”

(Musical break)

The sheep were…….
The cows were………
And I was…..
One sweet September morn
She kissed me once, she kissed me twice
There, there and there
She was no dunce, it was so nice
There, there and there
Oh she told me in the meadow
What I believed was true
But the cows went (Moo)
The sheep went (Baa)
When she said……….

(Various Moo’s & Baa’s throughout the song.)
