Farmer Emmerich went into his barn  And found a cow suckling a serpent  And a brown ape clanking a heavy chain  Said Farmer Emmerich to the ape  Never ask me to come into this barn again  So Long  Farewell  So Long    Farmer Emmerich caught the serpent  And the brown ape in a cage  And took them into his house  He fed the snake a vat of milk  And when the ape rattled its chain  He tossed the ape a mouse  So Long  Goodbye  Farewell    The villagers found out that Farmer Emmerich  Was nurturing a serpent  And descended upon his farm  All rabid in their blindness  They dragged the snake outside  Chopped it open with an axe  And the ground soaked  In the milk of human kindness  So Long  Farewell  So Long    But the brown ape escaped  And was heard to roam the ranges  Clanking its heavy chain  Down in the valley it sang to its friend  Whom he may never see again
