lyrics

In the Barnyard

Got a horse named Red,
sleeps in the shed.
Standing up, don’t need no bed.
In the barnyard.
Gonna take him on down to the County Fair.

Got a dog named Suzie,
really is a doozie.
Goes ruff, ruff.
Thinks she’s tough.
In the barnyard.
Gonna take her on down to the County Fair.

Got a sheep named Peaches,
loves to make speeches.
She eats grass, she eats hay,
Everyday, in the barnyard.
Gonna take her on down to the County Fair.

Got a pig named Petunia,
really will swoonya’.
Loves to eat tunya’
with a great big spoonya’.
Wash her down, Chandler Town.
Win first prize, ain’t no lie.
In the barnyard.
Gonna take him on down to the County Fair.

Got a rabbit named Bow,
stubbed his toe.
Got a rabbit name Billy,
really silly.
Rabbit named Spot,
with a great big dot.
Rabbit named frog,
barks like a dog.
In the barnyard.
Gonna take 'em on down to the County Fair.

Got a cow named George,
sleeps in the gorge.
Cow name Sunny,
really funny.
Cow name Jolly,
Jolly dolly.
Cow named Linda,
breaks the winda’.
In the barnyard.
Gonna take him on down to the County Fair.

Got a duck named Dewey,
knows Kungfuey.
Duck named Quack,
swims on his back.
Duck named Rocky,
sure is cocky.
Duck named Bannard,
plays guitar.
In the barnyard.
Gonna take 'em on down to the County Fair.
