Polishing a sheep is a so hard job
They runs away when they see you
And you just gets one then they hear
That psst psst spraying and they're gone
When the polish is on you gots to rub it in
But it mats up all the fur real bad
You gets a comb and pull and pull
Then you can get that real good shine
And it's all worth the work you puts in
If all gets too much then remember this
They've got to be ready for the show
Ironing a chicken is a so hard job
They don't like the heat you see
So yous has to iron from a distance
And that don't always make them feathers flat
But get in too close and push too hard
Then the feathers burn and go black
Now no-one ever wants that
Especially not the chicken herselves
So though yous got to hold tight
You need to caress her and keep her calm cause
She's got to be ready for the show
Hoovering a cow is a so hard job
You sees they gets lots of crumbs on em'
Not like biscuit or cakes but more likes mud
Now these ones are easier to catch
And if yous skilled you get on their backs
But they has lots a crannies about
The worst bit by far is the udders you see
When yous got that little hose they pop in
Then you pull it off and another is in
When milk comes out the hoover don't like that but
She's got to be ready for the show
But the hardest job is mopping a duck
You might say, why mop a duck who live in pond?
Well, pond water is the wrong type o' water
And you can't put cleaner in them ponds
Or else it makes duck sick you see
So I have to stretch over with mop in hand
But it just slips off his downy feathers
And off he swims, quacking out laughter
Once I fell in and thought why do I bother
But you know why I keep going? Cause
He's got to be ready for the show
And when the show comes
They won't laugh at what I do
First in show, four times through
And the prize is just a bonus
For the pride I feel in my heart
I polished the sheep
I ironed the chicken
I hoovered the cow
And I mopped the duck
All so they were ready for the show
Now, where's that goat? He ain't gonna descale himself
