Another Dead Cow Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe

Bat Boy (Original Cast Recording)

2001

[MAGGIE]
Boys, it’s time for you to wake up and smell the music,
we obviously got ourselves a predicament.
 
[BUD]
Alright, I admit it!
Bossie’s thin as a fishing pole…
 
[NED]
Bessie’s flat as a flounder…
 
[ROY]
Little Bonnie, God rest her soul was barely one quarter pounder!
 
[BUD]
I checked my bovine manual and I find no definition
 
[BUD & NED]
Even this revised edition, does not mention malnutrition
 
[ROY]
Gussie died of a hacking cough
Clara drowned in the feeding trough
 
[ALL]
Why would the Lord wanna carry them off
Dang!
We’ve got another dead cow, and the rent is overdue…
 
[BUD]
We’re facing poverty!
 
[ALL]
Got another dead cow, and we’re up to twenty-two
 
[ROY]
Better make that twenty-three
 
[ALL]
Sweet Jesus now I’m petrified
 
[NED]
They're gonna repossess my double-wide!
 
[ALL]
Got another dead cow and I’m thinking of blaming -
 
[MAGGIE]
You wanna be watchin that kinda talk
let's not go there
let's guide this train of thought back toward the depot
we’ve gotta figure out what's wrong with these cows
 
[ALL]
Something's making 'em cough and wheeze
Slowly drivin them to their knees
 
[BUD]
It’s gotta be some contagious disease
 
[ALL]
A PLAGUE!
We got another dead cow
and we don’t know why they die
 
[MAGGIE]
We’ve got to find the link
 
[ALL]
Got another dead cow
and apocalypse draws nigh!
 
[BUD]
You went to college; think!
 
[ALL]
Well, something's bound to raise a flag!
 
[LORRAINE]
Like the little bat boy they found in the bag?
 
[ALL]
Got another dead c...
Got another de...
Got ano...
G...
 
Got another dead cow
but I'm telling you now
I’m making a vow
by the sweat of my brow
gonna figure out who
and what and how and why!
 
[ROY]
Maybe it’s this rotten plague
 
[ALL]
Why...
 
[BUD]
Think Dr. Parker will put it down
 
[ALL]
Why...
 
[LORRAINE]
Dr. Parker is a good man
 
[ALL]
Why...
 
[LORRAINE]
He’ll just kill it
 
[ALL]
Why…
