see the farmer on the other side of town
he’s always working hard ’til the sun goes down
he’s up every morning right on five a wanting green seeds just to come alive
but he don’t wear a no farm clothes he’s always using a rake and hoe
but his seeds are starting to grow like a big stalk up through the sky
he used to live in an apartment in a big old city
with thick and priestly windows built right in it
but he decided to move to a little tiny town
he wanted to be a farmer all year round
and on a country road where you can’t see a thing
he’s got five acres filled little green things he said
he’s working so hard all night and day
mr farmer let me watch your crops
mr farmer let me water your crops
mr farmer let me harvest your crops
i want to have a dream come true
i said a farmer farmer farmer
i want to be just like you
see the farmer a walking down town always draws a crowd when he’s around
he’s always wearing seedy clothes he’s shows them off wherever he goes
you can spot him anywhere got a bright pink thumb but he don’t care
i said he looks like something from a very bad dream
mr farmer let me watch your crops
mr farmer let me water your crops
mr farmer let me harvest your crops
mr farmer let me save your crops
i said a farmer farmer farmer
