This is a song about my time as a boy,
This is a song about the source of my pride and joy,
And I feel that perhaps I should note,
This is a song about my favourite goat,

You're my favourite goat,
You've got such a lovely wool coat,
And you've got knobbly knees, just like me,
And you produce some wonderfully good cheese,

When you go, 'nyaah nyah nyah nyaaah nyaaah,'
Yes, you go, 'nyaaah nyah nyah nyaaah,'
When you make that sound, 'nyaaah nyah nyaaah,'
It makes my heart go up and down,

I do regret having to give you away,
But I know that we'll meet again some day,
And I really hope that you understand,
If I had not given you up, they would have taken my hands,

So I wait for the time you come home,
Back to my open arms, where goats do roam,
And we can fall asleep in each other's arms,
Breathing in unison, keeping each other warm,

When you go, 'nyaah nyah nyah nyaaah nyaaah,'
Yes, you go, 'nyaaah nyah nyah nyaaah,'
When you make that sound, 'nyaaah nyah nyaaah,'
It makes my heart go up and down.
