G C
Oh, we grow things mighty big down in Kentucky
D G
But there's nothing in that state can quite compare
G C
To a cow that we once had us, and the name of her was Gladys.
D G
Boy, you should have seen the neighbors stand and stare
[Verse 2]
G C
She stood 10 feet tall and had one purple eyeball
D G
It took eight of us to milk her, here is why:
G C
She had 27 spigots; And the tourists all bought tickets,
D G
just to watch us milk and hear us loudly cry-y-y-y...
[Chorus]
G C
Oh, pass the udder udder over to my udder brudder,
G D
and pie-ass the udder udder dis-a-way
G C
So they passed the udder udder, and I passed it to my brudder.
D G
Oh, we really had our hands full every day
[Verse 3]
G C
We created quite a spectacle, I'll grant you
D G
But we milked her just as pretty as you please
G
And while people said "How funny,"
C D G
we raked in enough durn money to go out and order ermine BVD's
[Verse 4]
G C
Father turned her on her back one Sunday morning.
D G
Gladys said "I'm upside down, now what's the gag?"
G C
"Well, the reason why," said Pop "is so the cream will be on top."
D G
Gladys said, "well in that case, it's in the bag!"
[Chorus]
G C
Oh, pass the udder udder over to my udder brudder,
G D
and pie-ass the udder udder dis-a-way
G C
So they passed the udder udder, and I passed it to my brudder.
D G
Oh, we really had our hands full every day
[Verse 5]
G C
Now our Gladys was a star in cattle circles
D G
Though she couldn't read or write her name in full
G
You would think she'd been to college,
C
although she herself acknowledged,
D G
that she gained her fame entirely by pull.
[Verse 6]
G C
Oh she said to us one cold and wintry morning
D G
She said, "Milking is the thing I dearly loves".
G C
But when I get a cold it lingers, and I can't stand icy fingers
D G
So go back into the house and get your gloves!"
[Chorus]
G C
Oh, pass the udder udder over to my udder brudder,
G D
and pie-ass the udder udder dis-a-way
G C
So they passed the udder udder, and I passed it to my brudder.
D G D G G G G G G G G
Oh, we really had our hands full ev ery day shave and a haircut rhythm
