[Lyrics]

We cows are very beautiful.

Our tails are as soft as silk,

So it’s simply unfair,

when you think of a cow,

to think of her mostly as milk.

I stand in a meadow and we dream.

So it’s simply unfair

when you think of a cow,

to think of her mostly as cream.

Without a cow, a meadow is a lonely place.

Without a cow, a field is just some grass.

Without a cow, standing in her one and only place,

A farm is just a garden, but a lack, my dears, alas.

You people, when you think of cows, forget us

making mooosic in the breeze.

Forget our way with flies, ignore our big brown eyes,

And treasure us only as cheese.

Without a cow, a meadow is a mucky place.

Without a cow, the field is just some hay.

Without a cow, a farm is an unlucky place,

So, when next you meet a cow, walk right up to her and say,

Dear cow, I know you’re sensitive,

Dear cow, you’re beautiful and sweet,

I’ve never told you before, but

I know you’re much more,

than the source of the yogurt I eat.

Dear cow, you’re loving and affectionate,

You’re kind, you’re motherly, and now.

Sing dairy dairy down, forgetting dairy products.

From now on I’ll appreciate a cow.
