Who's afraid of a cow?
They're so gentle and kind
You can go up quite close
And they none of 'em mind;
And they like little girls, so I've heard people say—
But I wish, O I wish they was further away!
Pooh—who's afraid?
They're as good as can be,
An' one's a child-cow that is younger than me.
They give us good milk—an' there's nothing to fear—
But I wish, O I wish that my Daddy was here!
