Christmaaaaa Carols - Oh Piney Tree, O Piney Tree

AbbyGoat here. I know you have not seen much of me lately.
I don't know why.
If you ask me I should be on this stupid blog EVERY day.
But PFFFFFT.

Today I am bringing you the first in this year's series of Christmaaaaa Carols so please enjoy -
O Piney Tree (sung to the tune of O Christmas Tree)

O piney tree, o piney tree
Thy needles are too far away

O piney tree, o piney tree
Thy needles are too far away

I use my chin to drag them near
So I can grab a bite so dear.

O piney tree, o piney tree
Your needles are so far away.
But I will win and eat them now
They taste so good, I'm like a sow.

O piney tree, O piney tree
Your needles now are in me.

O piney tree, o piney tree.
Your needles now are in me!*

I'm Late, I'm Late....

I can't believe it!
I'm late!

I have to hurry.
I can't believe I let time get away from me.
I will blame it on the publicist.
EVERYTHING is her fault.

OK - I am in position.
♫♫MaaaMaaaaMaaaaaMAAAAAAA ♫♫

Is my audience here?
THEY HAD BETTER BE!

What?
Only two?!
It was supposed to be a full field!
I am going to have a maaaaa with my agent.

Oh well, a star ALWAYS performs, no matter the audience.

♫♪ Don't cry for me Happy Goats Farm ♫♪
      The truth is I never left you
      All through my wild days
      My baaaaad existence
      I kept my sanity
♫♪ DO keep your distance* ♫♪

What? I'm performing here.
Don't you know talent when you see it.
My audience is enthralled.

Welll - you interrupted me.
You spoiled the flow. Of course they have stopped paying attention.
They are NOT napping!
How DARE you!
Pfffffft!

Just because of that I am leaving.
I will go where I am appreciated.
See if I sing here again!

Stinky the Farm Cat Vogues, Vogues, Vogues....♫♫♪♪♫

Strike a pose
Strike a pose
Vogue, vogue, vogue
Vogue, vogue, vogue

Look around, everywhere you turn are Farm cats
They're everywhere you go (look around)
You try everything you can to escape
From the cats that chase you so

When all else fails and you long to be
A Farm cat all alone to nap
I know a place where I can get away
It's called the cat tree and that's what it's for

soooooooo

Strike a pose
Strike a pose
Vogue, vogue, vogue
Vogue, vogue, vogue

Then nap, nap, nap
It's time to nap, nap, nap!
It's the Farm cat way, way, way.*

AbbyDay: Post Redux - Let it Doe

AbbyGoat is graciously sharing her day until Christmaaaa so we can repost some of our favorite Christmaaaa Carols from years past on the Farm. They feature some goats who are no longer on the Farm but will make those who have been reading for a long time smile. So enjoy this very wintry carol from 2011....


The boys want to get in on the caroling so they asked if they could croon you a tune today.
So I hope you all enjoy their rendition of...

Let it Doe

Oh the weather outside is frightful

But our barn is so delightful 

and since we've no place to go

Let it doe!

Let it doe!

Let it doe!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They always show signs of pleasing

But we've got some apples for teasing

The barn light is turned down low

Let it doe!

Let it doe!

Let it doe!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

When we finally MAAAAA goodnight

How We'll hate to be penned all alone

But if you wag your tail just right

We won't mind the lonely buck zone!

The light is slowly dying

And my goat we're still goodbying

But as long as you love us so

Let it doe!

Let it doe!

LET IT DOE!!!*

Me and My ShadowGoat

The publicist is singing a new song around the goat pen....

♪♫♪ Me and my shadowgoat
Strolling around the goat pen
Me and my shadowgoat
She is one to maaaa her troubles to me ♪♫♪

♪♫♪ And when it's time for me to go
I try to depart
I get a look
From little eyes that maaaa NO ♪♫♪

♪♫♪ Just me and my shadowgoat
Nibbling on my gloves or coat ♪♫♪

♪♫♪ And when it's time for me to go
I try to depart
I get a look
From little eyes that maaaa NO ♪♫♪

♪♫♪ Just me and my shadowgoat
Always there, and on her I dote ♪♫♪*

The publicist is so funny, isn't she?
But she doesn't only have ONE shadowgoat.
Oh no!
The other one is a little bit scary.
Prepare yourselves.....

AIIIIIIEEEEEEE!
Wouldn't YOU be scared to be followed by THAT?!

Little Bernadette does follow her all around.

She finds it hard to leave the goat pen.
I think Bernadette would follow her up into the yurt and settle down on the couch.

Bernadette has "the look" down pat.
Would YOU want to leave?

Everykid was Cap-rine Fighting

Everykid was Cap-rine fighting
Those goats were fast as lighting

In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with four legged timing

They were funky caprine kids from funky caprine maaaaas
They were kicking them up and they were goat stomping them down

It's an ancient caprine art and everygoat knew his part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

Everykid was Cap-rine fighting
Those goats were fast as lighting

In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with four legged timing

There was funky RoryGoat and little Mick the goat
He said here comes teeny tiny Rudy - let's get it on

We took a bow, made a stand, started swinging with a hoof
The sudden motion made me skip, now we're into a brand new trick

Everykid was Cap-rine fighting
Those goats were fast as lighting

In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with four legged timing*

Obviously the little ones had their "battle" before Rory left the Farm.

Love is a Buttlefield

Aaaah to be young and have nothing better to do.
Aaaah to be young and have NOTHING to do other than eat hay and stare at us does.
Those bucks!

Join Bruce and Clarence and they show off for us girls and show you that Love is a Buttlefield!



If you cannot see the movie you can watch it on YouTube HERE

Silly boys!
Do they think that impresses us when we have Luke the goat across the way?

I mean, REALLY!
What would you does choose?

It's Raining Husks, Hamaaaalumaaaa!

 It's raining husks! 
Ha-maaaa-lu-maaa!

It's raining husks! 
Amaaaaaa-n

I'm gonna go out to munch and let myself get 
Absolutely full of yummy corn to 'et

It's raining husks! 
Ha-maaaa-lu-maaa!

It's raining husks! 
Amaaaaaa-m

It's raining husks! 
For every goat!

Blonde and bearded...

Dark and not so lean

Rough and tough and strong and mean cute as a button

God Bless Mother Nature. She's a corn lover too!
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do.
She taught every male person to plant a garden for you
So that each and every goat can have a husk-a-balloo

It's raining husks! Ha-maaaa-lu-maaaa!
It's raining husks! Amaaaaa-n!*
