1
Farmer Emmerich went into his barn
2
Found a cow suckling a serpent
3
And the brown ape clanking a heavy chain
4
Said farmer Emmerich to the ape
5
"Never ask me to come into this barn again"
6
So long
7
Farewell
8
So long
9
Farmer Emmerich had caught the serpent
10
And the brown ape in a cage
11
And took them into his house
12
He fed the snake a vat of milk
13
And when the ape rattled its chain
14
He tossed the ape a mouse
15
So long
16
Goodbye
17
Farewell
18
The villagers found out that farmer Emmerich
19
Was nurturing a serpent
20
Descended upon his farm, all rabid in their blindness
21
They dragged the snake outside, chopped it open with an axe
22
And the ground soaked in the milk of human kindness
23
So long
24
Farewell
25
So long
26
But the brown ape escaped
27
And was heard to roam the ranges
28
Clanking it's heavy chain
29
Down in the valley, it sang to his friend
30
Whom he may never see again
