Lyrics
- We’re tired of hearing love songs
Like “Bring me back my heart”
All those lovey-dove songs
From them we’re going to part
When I hear fellows crooning
They don’t sing, they squeal
I’ll sing about some chaps I know
That have no sex appeal
You’ve often heard folks talk about a cow
I think I’ll sing about her husband now
Chorus
Bullocks you’re so tender and true
Bullocks you’re so nice in a stew
Cheery and hot when we eat you on Sunday
Weary and cold when we meet you on Monday
Each day of their lives
Husbands say to their wives
Tell me, tell me do
What’s for dinner today?
Then his dear wife will say
“Roast Beef and the same for you”
- Bullocks’ names are blighted
Yes, that is my belief
I think they should be knight’d
And called Sir Loin of Beef
A credit to the nation
When beef tea we make
They’ve got a reputation
That always is at “stake”
They’re plucky, and they’re fighters
There’s no doubt
At Bullfights out in Spain the people shout
