  • You should have seen me with the poker man
    I had a honey and I bet a grand
    Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand
    I was talking to an Eskimo
    Said he was hoping for a fall of snow
    When up popped a sea lion ready to go

    Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
    Down to Junior's Farm where I want to lay low
    Low life, high life, oh let's go
    Take me down to Junior's Farm

    At the Houses of Parliament
    Ev'rybody's talking 'bout the President
    We all chip in for a bag of cement
    Ollie Hardy should have had more sense
    He bought a gee-gee and he jumped the fence
    All for the sake of a couple of pence

    Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
    Down to Junior's Farm where I want to lay low
    Low life, high life, oh let's go
    Take me down to Junior's Farm
    Let's go, let's go
    Down to Junior's Farm where I want to lay low
    Low life, high life, oh let's go
    Take me down to Junior's Farm
    Everybody tag along

    I took my bag into a grocer's store
    The price is higher than the time before
    Old man asked me why is it more
    I said you should have seen me with the poker man
    I had a honey and I bet a grand
    Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand

    Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
    Down to Junior's Farm where I want to lay low
    Low life, high life, oh let's go
    Take me down to Junior's Farm

    Let's go, let's go
    Down to junior's farm where I want to lay low
    Low life, high life, oh let's go
    Take me down to Junior's Farm
    Everybody tag along
    Take me down to Junior's Farm

    Take me back
    Take me back
    I want to go back
    Yeah yeah Writer/s: LINDA LOUISE MCCARTNEY, PAUL JAMES MCCARTNEY

  • Rick from Fargo, NdThe are two stanzas of the lyrics missing.

    At the Houses of Parliament
    Ev'rybody's talking 'bout the President
    We all chip in for a bag of cement

    Olly Hardy should have had more sense
    He bought a gee-gee and he jumped the fence
    All for the sake of a couple of pence
  • Brad from Fl"Take me down Jimmy" is a reference of course to the gone-too-soon Jimmy McCulloch, who also played the memorable lead on the live version of "Maybe I'm Amazed".
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn January 5th 1975, "Junior's Farm" by Paul McCartney & Wings peaked at #3 (for 1 week) on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; it had entered the chart on November 3rd, 1974 and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100...
    It reached #16 in the United Kingdom...
    The week that "Junior's Farm" peaked at #3 and record in the #1 position was a song composed by Lennon/McCartney, "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", by Elton John...
    R.I.P. Ms. McCartney (1941 - 1998) and Sir Paul will celebrate his 72nd birthday come next June 18th.
