Did you hear, did you hear
She leapt a six-foot fence
Did you hear, did you hear
She's a cow
Did you hear, did you hear
She leapt a six-foot fence
No one knows where she is now
Cow 541 heard the death blades coming
Heard the bolt guns pop, the bodies drop
The smell of death and fear in the air
She had to get out of there
The clanking of chains, the splattering of brains
She took a thousand-pound leap
It would make olympic hurdlers weep
She pulled herself over and she ran
Run as fast as you can
Run run run run freedom
Cincinnati freedom run
Run run run run freedom
No more 541, freedom run
For 11 days she dodged the tranquilizer darts
For 11 days she avoided the traps
Through suburbs she scrambled, through parks she ambled
The convicts on the road crew tipped their caps
They hired a cowboy named lasso larue
He galloped through town, headline news
He'd end this silly chase, that's what he'd do
But he only caught a Subaru and three shih tzus
Run run run Cincinnati Freedom
Run run run run freedom
Cincinnati freedom run
Run run run run freedom
No more 541, freedom run
They finally caught her in the alley of mother o'malley
Too pooped to flee anymore
They asked the zoo to take her and treat her with class
but the zoo was afraid of this bovine badass
They gave her the key to the city
and she lived out all her days
in a sanctuary where survivors did graze
They did graze
And back at the slaughterhouse they shook their heads in wonder
Heads were gonna roll for this P.R. blunder
Cincinnati Freedom, sweet magnificence
Now every slaughterhouse needs a seven-foot fence
Run run run run freedom
Cincinnati freedom run
Run run run run freedom
No more 541
Run run run run freedom
Cincinnati freedom run
Run run run run freedom
No more 541
Freedom run
