My dad's a pheasant plucker, he's a very busy man
So I help him plucking pheasants, and I do the best I can
Sometimes he will go away and leave me on my own
And so I'm left here sitting, plucking pheasants all alone
I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's son
And I'm only plucking pheasants 'til the pheasant plucker comes
My husband likes to pluck with me, we have a lot of fun
He tickles me with pheasant feathers when the plucking's done
The laughing and the giggling helps to keep me fit and slim
There's nothing I would rather do than pheasant pluck with him
I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's wife
And when we pluck together, it's a pheasant plucking life
For the job of pheasant plucking, my friend is born and bred
He likes to have a pheasant pluck before he goes to bed
I try and lend a helping hand, I gather up all the feathers
It's really all his pheasant plucking keeps us here together
I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's friend
And if we went plucking pheasants, he would drive me round the bend
I had a pal in Donegal, could pluck a frozen pheasant
But you have to pluck 'em fresh or it's really quite unpleasant
I'm not good at plucking pheasants at the plucking I've no luck
Though some pheasants find it pleasant, I would rather pluck a duck
I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's mate
And I'm only plucking pheasants 'cause the pheasant plucker's late
My son's a pheasant plucker and he's very good to me
He frequently invites me 'round to have a cup of tea
We have pheasant plucking parties and play pheasant plucking games
Before we pluck the pheasants, we will give them silly names
I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's mother
And a mother plucking pheasants is as good as any other
My cousin is a pheasant plucker, he's the best I've seen
I'm no good at plucking pheasants, I really am quite green
He could pluck a buffalo or even do a moose
I have trouble getting down off either duck or goose
I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's cousin
In the time it took to sing the song, he plucked a half-a-dozen
