Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I am a combine harvesting the wheat
I'm one of the biggest machines you'll ever meet
My cutters spin 'round and 'round
Harvesting the crop
Up and down the field I go
There is no time to stop
And when my tank is full
I move my great long spout into the trailer And whoosh! My grain comes out

I am a combine harvesting the wheat
I'm one of the biggest machines you'll ever meet
My cutters spin 'round and 'round
Harvesting the crop
Up and down the field I go
There is no time to stop
And when my tank is full
I move my great long spout into the trailer
And whoosh! My grain comes out

I am a combine harvesting the wheat
I'm one of the biggest machines you'll ever meet
