One night as I was sleepin' something awakened me
A
There was a light on in my barn so I went down to see
D G D
I peeked through a big ole crack in the door and a-what do you think I saw?
A D
The animals were having a barn dance right in the horse's stall
D G D
And there was the chicken doing the Chicken Reel and the muskrat rambled on
A
The old cow did the Cow-Cow Boogie and the rooster crowed a song
D G D
A mouse came out of his hiding place and he danced on one leg
A D
The old hen got so tickled that she almost laid an egg
D G D
They were all dressed up for the barn dance it made me want to laugh
A
The rabbit wore a big bow tie and the pig was a-lookin' in a looking glass
D G D
And the goose danced with the gander 'til an old goat butted in
A D
The horse was a-horsin' around a lot until the mare got mad at him
D G D
And there was the chicken doing the Chicken Reel and the muskrat rambled on
A
The old cow did the Cow-Cow Boogie and the rooster crowed a song
D G D
A mouse came out of his hiding place and he danced on one leg
A D
The old hen got so tickled that she almost laid an egg
