(Tune:  Take me Out to the Ball Game)

 Take me out to the barnyard

 Take me out there right now.

Show me the cows, pigs and horses too.

I hear an oink and a neigh and a moo.

There are chickens laying their eggs,

If they don't lay it's a shame.

Oh, it's one, two, three eggs today.

And I'm glad I came.

 (Tune: Wheels on the Bus

 The sheep on the farm go baa, baa, baa.

baa, baa, baa; baa, baa, baa.

The sheep on the farm go baa, baa, baa.

All day long.

(Sing the song using different animals and the sounds they make.)

(Tune:  Down by the Station)

   Out in the barnyard,

    Early in the morning,

   You can hear the piglets

    Squealing up a storm.

  Here comes the mama pig,

   She will feed her babies,

 Oink, oink, oink, oink, on the farm.

           (A Poem)

Old MacDonald had a goat,

It ate his winter overcoat.

Old MacDonald had a sheep,

It ate his big, blue, four-wheeled jeep.

Old Mac Donald had a cat,

It ate his furry, winter hat.

Old Mac Donald had a goose,

It ate his can of apple juice.

Old Mac Donald had a duck,

It ate his new, green, pick-up truck.

Old MacDonald had a cow,

It ate ten bags of puppy chow.

Old MacDonald had a horse,

It ate his rubber boots, of course.

Old MacDonald had a pig,

It ate his sister's brand new wig.

Old MacDonald had a dog,

It ate the farmer's catalogue.

      A Poem

Five little farmers get up early one day,

For there's work to be done and no time to play.

The first farmer goes to milk the cow.

The second farmer gets ready to plow

The third little farmer feeds the hens and chicks.

The fourth little farmer has gates to fix.

The fifth little farmer sells vegetables in town.

Five busy little farmers work 'till the sun goes down.

(Tune: Farmer in the Dell)
