18 goat on a rope don’t you think the goat surely would have surely rather have been freed? don’t you stand there while all the chimps swing from the trees get out yr scissors get on yr coat get out yr knife to cut out the goat i got yr ax n i got yr goat n i know what you want from me goat on a rope tied to a post we want more than just the most we want more than just a little more a goat on a rope sings a note without hope bones are poking thru the skin of the sheep thrones are stowed away where princes sit for free stones are throwing thru the windows in my sleep own what i own is me slide slice why gut that ram when there’s perfect meat in front of me? get out yr scissors get out yr gun load up the bullets to shoot down yr son i got yr ax n i got yr goat but what you want is yet to be done
