Well, a hen can lay a golden egg
But she still can't sing
A hen can lay a golden egg
But she still can't sing
Well, the hen's alright
But the harp is everything
When it's gunnin' for glory
A boy just won't be told
Gunnin' for glory
A boy just won't be told
I went up three times
But it never was for the gold
Oh, mama, what's the matter now?
Oh, mama, what's the matter now?
That old cow
She wasn't milking anyhow
ย
After the beanstalk
Your life's not the same
After the beanstalk
Your life's not the same
Well, the harp's worth more
Than any fortune and fame
Oh, mama, what's the matter now?
Oh, mama, what's the matter now?
I'm still up in the morning
To get behind the plough
ย
A hen can lay a golden egg
But she still can't sing
A hen can lay a golden egg
But she still can't sing
Well, the hen's alright
But the harp is everything
Oh, mama, what's the matter now?
Oh, mama, what's the matter now?
I'm still up in the morning
To get behind the plough
