A RICH MAN,A FARMER,
He had such a big surprise
When he looked at his harvest,
It was then that he realised
It was enormous, he’d never
Seen a crop near this size.
He must build a place to accommodate his prize.
He thought I’ll
Build a bigger barn, bigger barn barn bigger barn
Build a bigger barn, bigger barn barn bigger barn
Build a bigger barn, bigger barn barn bigger barn
Build a bigger barn, bigger barn. Hey! Hey! Hey!
Build a bigger barn, bigger barn barn bigger barn
Build a bigger barn, bigger barn barn bigger barn
Build a bigger barn, bigger barn barn bigger barn
Build a bigger barn, bigger barn.
This rich man, this farmer,
Decided to do away
With;old barns, build new ones
And in them, his crop could stay
Then he’d take life easy,
Sit back and smugly say
‘I’ll eat and drink and be merry every day.
But God said ‘How foolish,
Tonight you’re going to die.
Then who gets your fortune,
When you say your last goodbye
Don’t store up your wealth
Or you’ll end up like this guy
Give all to God and He will satisfy.
So don’t you
