Old MacDonald
Joyful Farm Melodies: Old MacDonald's Musical Menagerie
Lyrics
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
Old MacDonald owns a farm with various animals
And on his farm he had a cow, E-I-E-I-O
A cow is one of the animals on Old MacDonald's farm
With a moo moo here and a moo moo there
The cow makes a "moo moo" sound
Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo
The "moo moo" sounds are heard everywhere
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
Reiteration that Old MacDonald has a farm
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
Repetition of the farm ownership
And on his farm he had a pig, E-I-E-I-O
Now there is also a pig on the farm
With an oink oink here and an oink oink there
The pig makes an "oink oink" sound
Here an oink, there an oink, everywhere an oink oink
The "oink oink" sounds are widespread
Moo moo here and a moo moo there
Both cow and pig sounds are present
Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo
Animal sounds are heard everywhere
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
Reiteration of Old MacDonald having a farm
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
Repetition of the farm ownership
And on his farm he had a duck, E-I-E-I-O
A duck is introduced on the farm
With a quack quack here and a quack quack there
The duck makes a "quack quack" sound
Here a quack, there a quack, everywhere a quack quack
The "quack quack" sounds are heard widely
Oink oink here and an oink oink there
Pig sounds are mixed with duck sounds
Here an oink, there an oink, everywhere an oink oink
Duck sounds are heard everywhere
Moo moo here and a moo moo there
Moo sounds are added to the existing sounds
Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo
All animal sounds are now widespread
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
Reiteration of Old MacDonald having a farm
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
Repetition of the farm ownership
And on his farm he had a horse, E-I-E-I-O
A horse is now part of the farm
With a neigh neigh here and a neigh neigh there
The horse makes a "neigh neigh" sound
Here a neigh, there a neigh, everywhere a neigh neigh
The "neigh neigh" sounds are heard extensively
Quack quack here and a quack-quack there
Duck sounds are mixed with horse sounds
Here a quack, there a quack, everywhere a quack-quack
Horse sounds are heard everywhere
Oink oink here and an oink oink there
Pig sounds are mixed with duck sounds
Here an oink, there an oink, everywhere an oink oink
All animal sounds are now widespread
Moo moo here and a moo moo there
Moo sounds are added to the existing sounds
Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo
All animal sounds are heard everywhere
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
Final reiteration of Old MacDonald having a farm
E-I-E-I-O
Conclusion of the song with the familiar E-I-E-I-O
