Married With Cows

 

 

I wanted to be a singer

and sing my own true songs...

They wanted to know my measurements,

was I a redhead or a blonde?

 

And just how old are you?

And before you send your tape...

Send us a great big picture

and for the last five years - your weight.

 

"We're not signing married women -

their husbands make them quit!

With years and years of experience -

our investments have to stick!"

 

So I didn't send that picture,

my hair type or my weight.

I didn't bother fooling them -

and I never sent a tape.

 

For the rules they were describing

I never could kow-tow...

so I told them, "I ain't single,

I'm married with cows!"
