The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
bang, pow! look at me now.
don't let the cows stray off too far.
come down, take a good look around.
see how the cows start to shine like light bulbs.
I love the cows.
I love the cows.
I love the cows, yeah.
I love the cows.
rain comes, strikes you dumb.
re-seed the meadow so the cows don't starve.
mud puddle's a fine place to cuddle.
you're a mosquito or a mosquito's baby.
I love the cows.
I love the cows.
I love the cows.
I love the cows.
they're smiling in your face.
all the time they wanna take your place.
yeah you know who I mean,
talkin' about those cow-machines.
I love the cows.
I love the cows.
I love the cows.
I love the cows.
