The Barn Dance

One night as I was sleeping, something awakened me
There was a light on in my barn, so I went down to see
I peeked through the big ole crack in the door and what do you think I saw
The animals were havin' a barn dance right in the horse's stall

And there was chicken doin' chicken reel and the muskrat rambled on
The old cow did a cow-cow boogie and the rooster crowed the song
A mouse came out of his hidin' place, and he danced on one leg
The old hen got so tickled that she almost laid an egg

They were all dressed up for the barn dance, it made me want to laugh
The rabbit wore the big bow-tie and the pig was a looking in the looking glass
And the goose danced with the gander 'til an old dog bodied in
The horse was horsin' around a lot 'til the mare got mad at him

And there was chicken doin' chicken reel and the muskrat rambled on
The old cow did a cow-cow boogie and the rooster crowed the song
A mouse came out of his hidin' place, and he danced on one leg
The old hen got so tickled that she almost laid an egg

And there was chicken doin' chicken reel and the muskrat rambled on
The old cow did a cow-cow boogie and the rooster crowed the song
A mouse came out of his hidin' place, and he danced on one leg
The old hen got so tickled that she almost laid an egg
