The cow

The jungle was partying
It was the spring ball
And the floor was full of squirrels
Of bears, zebras and everything
But who's that unhappy beast
That fakes to powder her nose
A poor cow sitting lonely
Dressed in satin and lace
She remained sitting again
And murmurs with grieving voice
 
"Nobody pays me attention for being a cow
Nothing but a cow
I bought a new dress
I bathed and perfumed
I spent the day at the hairdresser
I'm young and in the time of my life
However I never hook up
However I'm always sitting
For being a cow, a cow
Nothing but a cow"
 
"In the next dance we choose the ladies"
Happy and nervous is ready to dance
Looking for someone who accepts
When she comes close and asks them..."Please?"
They run saying... "Please!"
With a complete lack of manners
And behaving like real beasts
They sing shamelessly:
 
"We don't pay her attention for being a cow
Because the cow took great pains"
"My dress is very pretty" "For a cow"
"I bathed and perfumed too"
"You put on a strich suit
you want to be like Marlene Dietrich"
"My dress is elegant
My dress is amazing"
"However it doesn't suit you
we already figure out
you're a cow, a cow
Nothing but a cow"
 
With the low head she leaves the floor
This cow that doesn't hook up anybody
But she becomes open-mouthed
By seeing standing at the door
A young and handsome calf
Dressed as a gentleman
His face shows a frown
Looking at her from head to toe
 
"It seems that you are a cow
Though you're weird for being a cow
Tell me why did you put on makeup
Your dress doesn't suit you at all
Did you have to dye? That perfume makes me wanna die!
I disapprove those showgirl feathers
But, let's go to the floor
Because I'm sure that
you're a cow, a cow
A cow, more precious, beautiful and exquisite
Nothing but a cow"
