Oh my my
The dairy farm is looking so dry
No cheese near or far
The ground is withered and scarred
I’ve got to find the nearest town
To help me settle or I’ll drown
Up to the dairy store
So I can find some cheese to restore
But what I find is beyond prophetic
She has it in her grasp and it's making me hectic
My heart drops and I fall to my knees
It’s so perfect and it’s making me weep
She’s got the big gouda (Oh oh) x3
Big gouda, hey big gouda, hey big gouda
And all my edams have wilted away
And all my wensleydale has gone down the drain
But she’s moved on to capitalize
The dairy industry with her tycoon mind
Oh my my
I asked her why her cheese did not die
She laughed at me with sass
Her aquifer was filled to the max
The one I had back home
Dried up about a month ago
I came to realize
Her dairy farm industrialized
All I can say is well wishes to her
She’s got an opportunity to prove to the world
That farmers like me don’t belong on this Earth
There’s no point in staying when you’ve got no worth
She’s got the big gouda (Oh oh) x3
Big gouda, hey big gouda, hey big gouda
She’s got the big gouda (Oh oh) x3
Oh oh
