Would You Like to Get Some Goats?
Melissa Carper Lyrics

SOLO
Hey babe, would you like to bake a pie with me?
The cherries are ripe to eat
We’ve got sugar and butter, straight from the utter
We’ll be rolling that dough, a whippin' that cream
Pop her in the oven 'til the buzzer rings
Hey babe, would you like to bake a pie with me?

And hey babe, would you like to can some beans with me?
It ain’t no thing. Then come the spring,
Plant some collard greens, and all the little seedlings
They’ll be sproutin' up so big and tall
We’ll be cannin' all through fall
Hey babe, would you like to can some beans with me?

Tag: Well that’s my pitch and there ain’t no hitch
Babe, would you like to get some goats?

The lyrics of Melissa Carper's song "Would You Like to Get Some Goats?" speak to the desire for a simpler life, one where the singer and their lover can start a little farm together. The singer is inviting their partner to join them in creating a sustainable lifestyle, one that is free from the worries of the modern world. They propose acquiring goats, chickens, horses, and lambs, and describe the pleasure of milking goats and making cheese. The singer then moves on to suggest starting a new brand of hot sauce, baking a cherry pie, and canning beans together.

Overall, the lyrics suggest a yearning for a more self-sufficient, earthy way of life. The invitation to "get some goats" is really an invitation to leave behind the trappings of modern society and embrace a simpler, more grounded existence. The inclusion of different activities like baking, canning, and hot sauce-making speak to a well-rounded appreciation for the joys of food and working with one's hands.

Hey babe, would you like to get some goats with me?
Hey babe, would you like to start a new venture with me?

Start a little farm, no need for alarm
We'll set up a small business without much hassle.

Get some chickens and horses
We'll buy some poultry and equines too.

Little lambs of courses
We'll incorporate baby sheep in this venture.

We’ll be milkin; them goats, makin' that cheese
We'll breed goats to make goat cheese by ourselves.

All day all night, until we please
We'll work around the clock as per our convenience.

Hey babe, would you like to get some goats with me?
Hey babe, would you like to venture into entrepreneurship with me?

Hey babe, would you like to start a new brand of hot sauce?
Hey babe, would you like to launch a spicy sauce brand with me?

There’s a demand, I’d like to fill, if I can
There's a market gap and I'd like to bridge it if possible.

We’ll let our peppers grow, so nice and slow
We'll cultivate our chili peppers patiently.

Then we’ll be firing it up, so damn hot
Then we'll use the peppers to make very hot sauce.

'Til we hit that chili spot
Until our sauce tastes spicy enough to satisfy customers.

Hey babe, would you like to start a new brand of hot sauce?
Hey babe, would you like to co-found a hot sauce business as my partner?

Hey babe, would you like to bake a pie with me?
Hey babe, would you like to join me in baking a pie?

The cherries are ripe to eat
The cherries are now ready for consumption.

We’ve got sugar and butter, straight from the utter
We have fresh ingredients like milk, sugar, and butter to use in the baking process.

We’ll be rolling that dough, a whippin' that cream
We'll make use of dough and cream.

Pop her in the oven 'til the buzzer rings
We'll bake it in an oven until it's done.

Hey babe, would you like to bake a pie with me?
Hey babe, do you want to bake a pie with me?

And hey babe, would you like to can some beans with me?
Hey babe, do you want to preserve some beans in cans with me?

It ain’t no thing. Then come the spring,
It's not a big deal. We can get started in spring.

Plant some collard greens, and all the little seedlings
We'll plant collard greens and other types of seedlings.

They’ll be sproutin' up so big and tall
The plants will grow huge as they mature.

We’ll be cannin' all through fall
We'll preserve the beans in cans for future use.

Hey babe, would you like to can some beans with me?
Hey babe, are you interested in canning beans with me?

Well that’s my pitch and there ain’t no hitch
That's my proposal and I don't see any problems with it.

Babe, would you like to get some goats?
Would you like to start a new business venture with me?
