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 a big ole crack in the door and what do you think i saw
the animals were havin' a barn dance right in the horses' stall
and there was a chicken doing the chicken reel and the muskart rambled on
the ole cow did a cow-cow boogie and the rooster crowed a song
a mouse came out of his hidin' place and he danced on one leg
the ole 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 a big bowtie and the pig was a lookin' in a lookin' glass
and the goose danced with the gander 'til an old dog butted in
the horse was horsing around a lot till the mare got mad at him
and there was a chicken doing. and there was a chicken doing.
