Making The Rounds
by The Milkmen

Share link

"Late Night Delivery" had received so much airplay in the 1980 KBCO Songwriting Contest ... and we needed a bunch of material to play live ... so we responded with another theme song which presents an idyllic take on the milking milieu.

Lyrics

this life we lead gives us all we need
who could prefer any other
work all morning and our daytime's freed
to confer with the stay-home mother

we're making the rounds
we're making the rounds
we're making the rounds
making the rounds

bell cow Bessie's by the wishing well
with our prize blue ribbon females
bovine royalty those Guernsey belles
regally waiting for their milk pails

what are we doing
we're making the rounds
where are we going
we're making the rounds
raining or snowing
we're making the rounds
living and loving
making the rounds

and we go on our way
happily through the day
and we love what we do
and we're all in the crew

hurry homeward boys I'll lead the way
hoping all of you will join us
halfway home we find a shady lane
where we keep all our appointments

what are we doing
we're making the rounds
where are we going
we're making the rounds
raining or snowing
we're making the rounds
living and loving
making the rounds

and we go on our way
happily through the day
and we love what we do
and we're all in the crew
