Chorus:
Now this man and his wife shared the food that they ate
Just some old cottage cheese piled up on a plate
It smelled kinda funny, and its color was grey:
So I took just one bite -- and they hauled it away.
"It's bedtime!" the farmer's young wife then announced
And up towards the bedstead she practically pounced
There was only one bed, and enough room for three:
First the wife, then the farmer, and finally me ("damn!")
Past midnight, the horses were kicking a row
So the farmer got up to see what's going down
Said his wife, "Now's your chance, lad", so quick as you please
I got up and I finished that damned cottage cheese!
