[Chorus]
I'm countin' the cattle: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
I'm countin' the cattle
Just to check if they're alive
I'm countin' the cattle: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
I'm countin' the cattle once again

[Verse 1]
Well, the first little cow
She went for a climb
She went up the mountain - and then we were just 9
The second little cow, went outf or a date
Discovered it was Wolfie
And then we were 8

[Chorus]
I'm countin' the cattle: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
I'm countin' the cattle
Just to check if they're alive
I'm countin' the cattle: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
I'm countin' the cattle once again

[Verse 2]
Well number 3 and number 4 they were longhorned chicks
They met some horny bulls and now I'm only countin' 6
Number 5, 6 & 7 went out without their key
And now they're hanging at the butchers
And I'm only counting 3
[Chorus]
I'm countin' the cattle: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
I'm countin' the cattle
Just to check if they're alive
I'm countin' the cattle: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
I'm countin' the cattle once again

[Verse 3]
Well the 8·9 said:
We're never havin'
Fun!! And they packed their things and left
And now I'm only countin' 1

[Bridge]
Now you see, we're alone me and Molly
She is brown-spottet, cheerful
And she is jolly
Now she [?] herself every day
And she promised that she will [?]
But our son is a muuhtant but who gives a damn
I mean, when the folks downtown, calls us: Mister and mam!

[Chorus]
I'm countin' the cattle: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
I'm countin' the cattle
Just to check if they're alive
I'm countin' the cattle: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
I'm countin' the cattle once again
I'm countin' the cattle once again
