Lyrics
English
One day I saw a big brown cow
Raise her head and chew,
I said, “Good morning, Mrs. Cow.”
But all she said was ‘Moo!’
One day I saw a woolly lamb
I followed it quite far,
I said, “Good morning, little lamb.”
But all it said was ‘Baa!’
One day I saw a dappled horse
Cropping in the hay,
I said, “Good morning Mr. Horse,”
But all it said was ‘Neigh!’
Raise her head and chew,
I said, “Good morning, Mrs. Cow.”
But all she said was ‘Moo!’
One day I saw a woolly lamb
I followed it quite far,
I said, “Good morning, little lamb.”
But all it said was ‘Baa!’
One day I saw a dappled horse
Cropping in the hay,
I said, “Good morning Mr. Horse,”
But all it said was ‘Neigh!’

with a moo, the lamb with a baa, and the horse with a neigh. Each animal
responds with its natural sound instead of human speech. The repeated
greetings make the poem playful. It introduces familiar animal sounds
through a simple pattern.
