Lyrics for The Goat
There was an animal called the Goat He budged his way lots of green code So let him go yah, so let him go Because he worked so hard Till he can't use a man I'm a Goat no more Just give him five hours to get out of town He'll get five miles down the road He will commit another crime That's when you're high scared Happened to be you come along And talked of Billy Goat eating up An old farmer's corn I said I didn't Billy Goat get him Got to jail him But the desk sergeant said I'll go if you'll let go The medicine doctor talked to Billy Goat Had a big stage show But Billy Goat got mad And but him right down In awesome clothes and let him go Please, please let him go Because he's worked so hard Till I can't use him now Can't run no more.
