All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers’ trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay…
I came across this song via the opening theme for a deranged and fun little cartoon called “The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack” (or similar, can’t be arsed to go look).

zucker means sugar in german, so there’s technically some nutrients there, even if we already eat way too much of it
And berg means mountain, so there’s definitely way too much!
The Big Rock Candy Mountain!
