Lyrics
In October, when they know
That very soon there will be snow,
Cows and horses, sheep and goats
Start to grow their winter coats.
Each year they grown them, fine and new
(And fitting very nicely too),
But with no buttons to undo,
Nor pockets for a handkerchief.
And so have to snort and sniff.
