He's chopped down sheep, planted trees And helped the countryside to breathe Ripped up fields, bullied flocks And worked his workers right around the clock. It may seem strange but he'd admit Intentions aren't exactlt true And though God loves his wife a bit He hates the farmer through and through All things bright and beautiful All creatures great and small All we've got is London Zoo 'cause farmer owns them all
