Farmer Emmerich went into his barn   Found a cow suckling a serpent   And the brown ape clanking a heavy chain   Said farmer Emmerich to the ape   "Never ask me to come into this barn again"      So long   Farewell   So long      Farmer Emmerich had caught the serpent   And the brown ape in a cage   And took them into his house   He fed the snake a vat of milk   And when the ape rattled its chain   He tossed the ape a mouse      So long   Goodbye   Farewell      The villagers found out that farmer Emmerich   Was nurturing a serpent   Descended upon his farm, all rabid in their blindness   They dragged the snake outside, chopped it open with an axe   And the ground soaked in the milk of human kindness      So long   Farewell   So long      But the brown ape escaped   And was heard to roam the ranges   Clanking it's heavy chain   Down in the valley, it sang to his friend   Whom he may never see again
