Farmer Derek's girls take over the farm

Derek Klingenberg's farm has three extra hands, and the youngest one still rides in a stroller. more

Derek writes parody songs about farming in the Midwest. For this one, "Farmer's Daughter," he puts his own kids in it. It brings in his girls one at a time, oldest first: Maria, then Aleah, then Sophia, who's still a baby.

Sophia, the baby of the family, joins the farm crew from her stroller.

All three are dressed for their parts, and they pitch in around the farm with their dad. When the chorus comes around, Maria and Aleah sing the title line with real pride. Sophia lets her big sisters handle that part.

Derek is a good sport about all of it. He even lets the girls paint his toenails. Then the song jumps ahead 15 years, and suddenly Derek is an old man while his three daughters run the farm.

The girls come back as grown women, introduced all over again, and the four of them horse around in the barnyard together. The lyrics are clever and the jokes are silly, and somewhere along the way the farmer's daughters became the farmers.
