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 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.
--- Instrumental ---
They were all dressed up for the barn dance it made me want to laugh
The rabbit wore the big bowtie and the pig was a looking in the looking glass
And the goose danced with the gander till an old dog boddied in
The horse was horsin' around a lot till 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 muskart 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...
