OLD McDONALD HAD A CORP FARM


Old MacDonald had a corp farm

EE I EE I O

And on his corp farm he had some cows

EE I EE I O

With a moo-moo belch here

And a moo-moo fart there

Here a moo-moo belch

There a moo-moo fart

Everywhere moo-moo methane emissions

sent to Father Sky 

EE I EE I O


Old MacDonald had a corp farm

EE I EE I O

And on his corp farm he had some hens

EE I EE I O

With a cluck-cluck in cages too cramped

to spread wings here

And a cluck-cluck in cages too cramped

to spread wings there

Here a cramped cage cluck-cluck

There a cramped cage cluck-cluck

Everywhere cramped cages cluck-clucks

EE I EE I O


Old MacDonald had a corp farm

EE I EE I O

And on his corp farm he had some pigs

EE I EE I O

With pregnant oink-oinks kept in metal pens 

too compact to turn around here 

And pregnant oink-oinks kept in metal pens 

too compact to turn around there 

A pregnant oink-oink kept in a compact pen here

And a pregnant oink-oink kept in a compact pen there

Here a pregnant oink-oink kept in a compact pen

There a pregnant oink-oink kept in a compact pen

Everywhere pregnant oink-oinks kept in compact pens

EE I EE I O 


Old MacDonald had a corp farm

EE I EE I O

And on this corp farm he maximized 

his bottomline 

EE I EE I O

With a maximized bottomline here

And a maximized bottomline there

Here a maximized bottomline 

There a maximized bottomline

Everywhere a maximized bottomline

EE I EE I O


Old MacDonald had a corp farm

EE I EE I O

And on his corp farm they used 

petrochemical pesticides 

EE I EE I O

With a silent spring here

And a silent spring there

Here a silent spring 

There a silent spring

Everywhere a silent spring

EE I EE I O
