Sheep may safely graze
The nostrils of their peers
With vapours thicker than the haze
Of one-too-many beers

But when you and I breathe deep
The atmosphere profane
Is wasy too full of sheep
Converted to methane
~~~~~~~~~~

(Chorus)
Oh, we won't have to shear the sheep no more
We'll wonder what woolly hats and gloves
were ever for
But, don't blame it on the sheep who belch and fart
Of the Greenhouse Effect,
they're just one small part
~~~~~~~~~~

Count them as you lie
Awake some night so tense
While gasses swirl and fly
Those sheep jump o'er the fence

The globe shall warm and bake
Your pillow melt from sweat
And sheep their wind shall break
Though it be to us a threat

(repeat chorus)

~~~~~~~~~~

Eeek! The sheep are trying to destroy us! I thought, if anyone can be trusted, it's sheep, but I was wrong.
