How many? Faint? by Simon Ager published on 2014-01-12T21:17:21Z This is a song I finished writing in December 2013 after quite a few months of fiddling with it. It combines and plays with bits of proverbs, sayings and jokes, and is seriously silly, or possibly profoundly shallow. Here are the words: How many roads must a chicken cross Before you can count your eggs? And how many light bulbs must be changed Before a snake grows legs? Chorus The answer you see Is sitting in a tree The answer is sitting in a tree. How many dark horses must be lead to water Before they'll buy you a drink? And how many pigs must fly throught the sky Before you'll stop and think? Chorus The answer you see Is ABCDE The answer is ABCDE. How many kings must a cat look at Before it smells a rat? And how many trees must a dog bark up Before the belfry goes bats? Chorus The answer you see Is one, two and three The answer is one, two and three. How many wolves must dress as sheep Before the cows come home? And how many needles must a camel thread Before it can go to bed? Chorus The answer you know Is as easy as dough The answer is as easy as dough. How many clocks must blind mice climb Before one of them gets stuck? And how many barrels must be filled with monkeys Before you run out of luck? Chorus The answer you see Is a great big bumblebee The answer is a great big bumblebee. Genre Comic song
