words & music: leon lim, sol foo

Now, if cows grew on trees
I wonder where I'd be?
Let the winds blow through the hills
And say "how would we know?"

I live in a place too small to be
The many things that I long to see

So I think up silly things
To help me get along
Once in a while I write them down
And that's how I wrote this song

To be in a jug is quite a good thing
To be safe and snug and able to sing

If cows grew on trees
Would they be shady enough for me?
Or would they be poisonous fruit??
Or would they be an edible root???

Well, you see the need for a need
Has grown much to strong!
I've tried everything but all in vain
So still I sing this song

Will the wind blow through the hills?
And make my empty heart be still?

Off to see what I can do
About the animals at the zoo
Do you think that they'll be fine?
Now I think they'll be a preoccupation of mine

And when cows do grow on trees
Would I still be me?
Would turnips be hatched from eggs??
Would spiders have two legs???

Do cows grow on trees?
It may be silly but I have to believe

That cows grow on trees!
And they provide solace for me!!
And they are not poisonous fruits!!!
But pleasant and tasty edible roots!!!!
