Bessie

I'm going to take a rope

and put it over her shoulders

and head for the river

and practice on boulders

and when she's real good

I'm going to build a big ramp

and me and that bovine

gonna vacate this camp

Fly now

across the hills

everyone's watching

gonna give them a thrill

So pound up that ramp

your hooves sound like thunder

I'm Zeus - you're Pegasus

we're a six-legged wonder

it's our key to success

we'll be famous world over

I'll make lots of money

and you'll have sweet clover

Fly now

across the sky

fetlocks a-flappin'

it's just you and I

And I won't tell the airforce about my schemes

I know they'd abuse you for their flying machines

and the farmers will curse me

when their cows take off from the fields

no meat for their markets

no milk for their meals

Fly now

across the hills

everyone's watching

gonna give them a thrill

So don't let me down

oh, bovine be risen

come on, sweet Bessie

be just like my vision

don't back away Bessie

if you pull I'll push

and we'll weave a nice sine wave

up over the bush

Fly now

across the hills

fetlocks a-flappin'

the earth's standing still

fly now

up in the sky

Bessie sweet Bessie

it's just you and I
