Farmer's Almanac Lyrics
Diddle dee dee, diddle diddle doo doo
Diddle doo doo, too too too too
Diddle dee dee, diddle diddle doo doo
Diddle doo doo, too too
Ooh ooh
Well, the farmer prayed for a better year
And the crops were good like the Lord did hear
But his barn burned down with winter near
The answer came in white and black
In the farmer's almanac, it says
If a man could have half his wishes he could double his trouble
A sweet old lady was eighty-four
When her kinfolks came for a month or more
Now from overwork she's on the other shore
Much too late was y'all come back
And it says in the farmer's almanac, it says
Visitors and fish smell after three days
Our leader was a silver tongued man
He deceived the people of the land
And when he got caught he couldn't stand
It's a little off-beat and a little off-track
But it says in the farmer's almanac, it says
In rivers and bad government the lightest things flow to the top
Diddle doo doo, diddle diddle doo doo
Diddle doo doo, dooddle diddle doo
Diddle diddle doo doo,diddle doo doo
Diddle doo doo, doo doo
Ooh ooh ooh
Rod said, "I don't believe in God"
Rod died and lies beneath the sod
For God did not believe in Rod
Life is a troubled and a weary track
But it says in the farmer's almanac, it says
Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death
The little boy followed the honeybee
And it flew straight to the honey tree
He got stung but got the honey free
Consolation for the things you lack
Is in the farmer's almanac, it says
God gives us the darkness so we can see the stars
He came home three hours late from work
Said, "I had a flat and fell in the dirt"
She said, you "got lipstick on your shirt"
Well, it turned out like Jill and Jack
And it says in the farmer's almanac, it says
Lies have to be covered up, truth can run around naked
Diddle doo doo, diddle doo doo doo
Diddle doo doo, diddle you doo doo
Dooddle doo doo, dooddle dooddle doo doo doo
Dooddle doo doo, doo doo doo
Ooh
He said, honey, you know I'm true
I just look at other women that's all I do
Then she caught him with her best friend Peggy Sue
Sometimes some women will look back
And it says in the farmer's almanac, it says
There's a lot of difference in window shoppin' and shop liftin'
I sat down at a shoeshine stand
I had a real slow shoeshine man
I said you don't pop that rag like some of 'em can
He looked at me and then he sat right back
It says in the farmer's almanac, it says
The trouble with the world today
Is there's too much poppin' and not enough shinin'
Diddle dee dee, diddle doo doo doo
Diddle dee dee, diddle doo doo doo
Diddle doo doo, diddle doo doo doo
Diddle doo doo, diddle doo
Diddle dee dee, diddle doo doo doo
Diddle dee dee, diddle doo doo doo
Diddle doo doo, diddle doo doo
Diddle doo doo, too too too too
Diddle dee dee, diddle diddle doo doo
Diddle doo doo, too too
Ooh ooh
Well, the farmer prayed for a better year
And the crops were good like the Lord did hear
