And why do I need to know what all the farm animals say? Jesus dude.

Genuine: It is a song to teach children about common livestock and identifying their sounds as part of their socialization and education. It probably made more sense when more people lived in agricultural families.

When I was a kid I was told it was about a dude who had a farm and he stole animals from people but they couldn't say it outright without proof or he'd sue them or something idk
