LYRICS:
I stand my ground both day and night
Within this field of grain
My job to scare the birds away
With little thanks and zero pay
In sunshine and in rain

I'm a scarecrow nothing more
And nothing less you'll see
I do my job as best I can
And nothing bothers me

Most people pass and pay no mind
A few will cast a glance
And fewer still may point and smile
Amused by my sartorial style
Or by my stolid stance

I'm a scarecrow nothing more
And nothing less you'll see
I do my job as best I can
And nothing bothers me

But I can have great fun sometimes
For I can dance don't you know
The breeze will come and take my hand
I'll cut a rug right where I stand
And put on quite a show

I'm a scarecrow nothing more
And nothing less you'll see
I do my job as best I can
And nothing bothers me

A lonely job a thankless task
A little respect is all I ask
From those who pass me by

I'm a scarecrow nothing more
And nothing less you'll see
I do my job as best I can
And nothing bothers me

But then when harvest time is here
I know I face the sack
The farmer will toss me aside
Or maybe send me on that ride
From which there's no way back
No way back
