Generate meaning
1
A farmer buys a donkey, he haggles down the price
2
The seller fella shrugs OK, but he offers this advice...
3
"Respect can't be demanded, it has to be inspired
4
A stick won't make that donkey work, it's a carrot that's required
5
Go the carrot, not the stick x2
6
Go the kiss, not the kick
7
Go the bicky, not the brick, go"¦"
8
Well, that farmer doesn't listen and off to his farm does trudge
9
But when he hitches up his plough, the donkey just won't budge
10
That shonky donkey just won't budge
11
So he rants and raves and he beats the beast, but there are hollers of dismay
12
As the farmer's youngest daughter tugs upon his pants to say
13
"Go the carrot..."
14
Say yes to positive, not no to negative
15
'Cos no to negative is not enough
16
Say yes to positive, not no to negative

Preposterously positive, that's the stuff

Well, that farmer pays no heed at all and a fracas does ensue

It's less than more than he bargained for and he says he's gunna sue

He's litigious through and through
21
But the donkey dealer on the phone laughs off that litigation
22
"You're a stubborn fool if you let that mule out-stubborn you all day, son, go"¦"
23
Now the daughter's found some carrots and the donkey well approves
24
He's got sparkling eyes and flapping ears and a twinkle in his hooves
25
A twinkle in his hooves
26
But the farmer bounds back full of beans for a refund's been agreed
27
So he'll never know he's letting go a strong, speedy steed indeed, if he'd gone..."
28
Will that farmer ever get the point? Will his daughter try in vain?
29
Will the donkey find a new farm that makes carrots and champagne?
30
Never real pain again!
31
Respect can't be demanded, it has to be inspired
32
And what goes round becomes a round, so a choir is thus required, go....
