Jeremiah People The Moo Moo Song Lyrics

My friends call me "the lonely boy"
But it wasn't always so.
My angel baby left my world
Not very long ago.
So listen to my story,
A tragic episode.
'Cause Betty was my steady
'Til that night on Riverdale road.

Well we were on our way to the junior prom.
Took a little drive past the b___ermilk Farm.
There were sheep in the meadow, there were cows in the corn.
There was something in the road, so I blew my horn.
But the thing stood still like a stick in the mud.
It was a big black cow just a-chewin' the cud.
Betty told me something that I never would have known
If it wasn't for the cow in the middle o' the road.

(moo moo moo moo moo moo moo moo moo moo mau mau etc.)
Well I gritted my teeth and I tried to look tough.
And I slammed my brakes, but it wasn't soon enough.
Betty closed her eyes, and I started to scream.
And the cow got turned into whipped cream.
I put the car in reverse and we squealed to a stop,
But Betty flew through the convertible top.
I found out what I never would have known
If it wasn't for the cow in the middle o' the road.

I found my Betty lying still in the ditch beside my car.
I prayed to God don't let her die, our love has come too far.
I whispered, "Say something Betty."
And she opened her eyes so blue
To tell me those three simple words: "Johnny, take me home."
She said, "Now look what you done to my brand new clothes!"
Then she broke my heart and she broke my nose.
She kicked in the door of my '57 Dodge
And she made me eat her pretty corsage.
I learned my lesson on that night so blue:
Never date a girl who is tougher than you.
I found out what I never would have known
If it wasn't for the cow in the middle o' the road.

No, Betty was not the girl for me.
That cow gave its life to set me free.
Yes, the cow turned out to be my best friend.
I'll never eat a burger again.
I found out what I never would have known
If it wasn't for the cow in the middle o' the road.
