Way [D]down on the farm we are [A7]right up to [D]date,
For mechanization’s the [A7]byword of late.
For [D]every task, there’s a [G]gadget to [D]match,
But our new muckspreader’s the [A7]best of the [D]batch.


[D]Fling it [G]here, Fling it [D]there,
If you’re standing by then you’ll [A7]all get your [D]share.


Now [D]young Walter Hodgkins, he [G]brought back a [D]load
Of liquid manure from the [A7]farm up the road.
He [D]hummed to himself as he [G]drove up the [D]street,
And his load also hummed in the [A7]afternoon [D]heat.


[D]Fling it [G]here, Fling it [D]there,
If you’re standing by then you’ll [A7]all get your [D]share.


The [D]this muckspreader had a [A7]mechanical [D]fault,
And a bump in the road turned it [A7]on with a jolt.
An [D]odorous spray of manure [G]it let [D]fly
Without fear or favor on [A7]all who passed [D]by.


[D]Fling it [G]here, Fling it [D]there,
If you’re standing by then you’ll [A7]all get your [D]share.


The [D]cats and the dogs stank to [A7]high kingdom [D]come,
And the kiddies, browned off, ran home [A7]screaming to Mum.
The [D]trail of sheer havoc were [G]terrible [D]grim,
One open car were filled [A7]up to the [D]brim.


[D]Fling it [G]here, Fling it [D]there,
If you’re standing by then you’ll [A7]all get your [D]share.


The [D]vicarage windows were [A7]all open [D]wide,
When a generous helping de[A7]scended inside.
The [D]vicar, at table, intoned “[G]Let us [D]pray”
When this manure from heaven came [A7]flying his [D]way.


[D]Fling it [G]here, Fling it [D]there,
If you’re standing by then you’ll [A7]all get your [D]share.


In [D]the garden, Miss Pringle was [A7]quite scanda[D]lized.
“Good [D]gracious!” she cried, “I’ve [A7]been fertilized.”
While [D]the Methodist minister’s [G]teetotal [D]wife
Were plastered for the very first [A7]time in her [D]life.


[D]Fling it [G]here, Fling it [D]there,
If you’re standing by then you’ll [A7]all get your [D]share.


And [D]all of this time Walter [A7]trundled a[D]long,
He was [D]quite unaware there was [A7]anything wrong,
Till [D]a vision of woe flagged him [G]down, what a [D]sight!
A policeman all covered in,[A7]you’ve got it [D]right.
