Most Revered Friend Lord Brendan: Thank you bucketloads!! Aelfraeda and I here; we're thrilled about the words!!
Here are the werecow lyrics--I will have to check the Dr. Demento tape to tell you for sure who wrote them, but I sure do wish it'd been me....
I assume you know the chorus--I'm a werecow, moo, moo, moo 2x
The chord progression is a minoresque (is that a word?) thing from Am-F-G. I
also assume you know the spoken part about the moon and finding beauty and being
stuck. If you need it let me know...
1) It seemed so innocent when Bossy bit my hand-- I was just tryin' to milk
her; I didn't understand
That Bossy really was Pierre the handy man--
He was a werecow, moo, mooo, moooo etc.
2)Now by day I work the fields here on my daddy's farm;
By night I roam the neighbor's place in search of corn,
Chewin' my cud and tryin' to keep my udders warm
I'm a werecow........
3)The mornings after always make my family wince;
I know it's hard for them to try and make some sense
of finding me naked with my head stuck through a fence
I'm a werecow................
Chord change to Maj. (C/G) 4)
Then I met this gypsy who said that he could cure this curse;
He said I had it bad, but by no means the worst.
He looked real good--was real nice dressed--
Hell, I was impressed!
Back to minor chording
5)He asked for money and I gladly said I'd pay
But when he said 'A million bucks' well, I was enraged!
So I bit that gypsy and...well...now we're engaged.
He's a werecow.....
6)These nights the sherriff lets me spend the night in jail
So I don't hurt nobody when the moon grows pale
Or wind up some entree at the local Steak and Ale!
I'm a werecow....
Yeeha!! Sorry to be short, but Aelfraeda and I must get hauling so's we can get in a practice before tomorrow night!! Thanks again!! Us :)
