Farmer's Almanac

Diddle dee dee, diddle diddle doo doo

Diddle doo doo, too too too too

Diddle dee dee, diddle diddle doo doo

Diddle doo doo, too too

Ooh ooh

Well, the farmer prayed for a better year

And the crops were good like the Lord did hear

But his barn burned down with winter near

The answer came in white and black

In the farmer's almanac, it says

If a man could have half his wishes he could double his trouble

A sweet old lady was eighty-four

When her kinfolks came for a month or more

Now from overwork she's on the other shore

Much too late was y'all come back

And it says in the farmer's almanac, it says

Visitors and fish smell after three days

Our leader was a silver tongued man

He deceived the people of the land

And when he got caught he couldn't stand

It's a little off-beat and a little off-track

But it says in the farmer's almanac, it says

In rivers and bad government the lightest things flow to the top

Diddle doo doo, diddle diddle doo doo

Diddle doo doo, dooddle diddle doo

Diddle diddle doo doo,diddle doo doo

Diddle doo doo, doo doo

Ooh ooh ooh

Rod said, "I don't believe in God"

Rod died and lies beneath the sod

For God did not believe in Rod

Life is a troubled and a weary track

But it says in the farmer's almanac, it says

Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death

The little boy followed the honeybee

And it flew straight to the honey tree

He got stung but got the honey free

Consolation for the things you lack

Is in the farmer's almanac, it says

God gives us the darkness so we can see the stars

He came home three hours late from work

Said, "I had a flat and fell in the dirt"

She said, you "got lipstick on your shirt"

Well, it turned out like Jill and Jack

And it says in the farmer's almanac, it says

Lies have to be covered up, truth can run around naked

Diddle doo doo, diddle doo doo doo

Diddle doo doo, diddle you doo doo

Dooddle doo doo, dooddle dooddle doo doo doo

Dooddle doo doo, doo doo doo

Ooh

He said, honey, you know I'm true

I just look at other women that's all I do

Then she caught him with her best friend Peggy Sue

Sometimes some women will look back

And it says in the farmer's almanac, it says

There's a lot of difference in window shoppin' and shop liftin'

I sat down at a shoeshine stand

I had a real slow shoeshine man

I said you don't pop that rag like some of 'em can

He looked at me and then he sat right back

It says in the farmer's almanac, it says

The trouble with the world today

Is there's too much poppin' and not enough shinin'

Diddle dee dee, diddle doo doo doo

Diddle dee dee, diddle doo doo doo

Diddle doo doo, diddle doo doo doo

Diddle doo doo, diddle doo

Diddle dee dee, diddle doo doo doo

Diddle dee dee, diddle doo doo doo

Diddle doo doo, diddle doo doo
