"The Farmer and the Cowman" is a song sung by Bart and Milhouse.

History

Bart and Milhouse try to imitate a compromising scene from The O.C. in order to get Luann and Kirk Van Houten divorced, but they fail. Milhouse then recommends to use another film as a guide, in this case the musical Oklahoma!, and imagines him and Bart dancing to this song.

Lyrics

Milhouse:

Maybe we should use a different movie as our guide. Like Oklahoma!

(Milhouse has a fantasy where Bart and Milhouse are dressed as characters from the musical)

Bart and Milhouse:

Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends,

Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends.

Milhouse:

One man likes to push a plow...

Bart:

The one likes to chase a cow...

Bart and Milhouse:

But that's no reason why they cain't be friends.

(both shoot pistols)

Milhouse:

Whadaya think, Bart? A hoedown could solve all our problems.

Bart:

I thought I told you, no Rodgers and Hammerstein!

Milhouse:

Rodgers and Hart?

Bart:

No!

Behind the Laughter

Oklahoma! is a musical written by the duo Rodgers and Hammerstein. Milhouse confuses Rodgers and Hammerstein with Rodgers and Hart, another duo of Broadway.
