Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Old McDonald had a farm, E I E I O

And on this farm he had some chicks, E I E I O

With a chick chick here, a chick chick there

Here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick chick

Old McDonald had a farm, E I E I O

[Verse 2]

Old McDonald had a farm, E I E I O

And on this farm he had some ducks, E I E I O

With a quack quack here, a quack quack there

Here a quack, there a quack, everywhere a quack quack

Chick chick here, a chick chick there

Here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick chick

Old McDonald had a farm, E I E I O

[Verse 3]

Old McDonald had a farm, E I E I O

And on this farm he had some pigs, E I E I O

With a oink oink here, a oink oink there

Here a oink, there a oink, everywhere a oink oink

Quack quack here, a quack quack there

Here a quack, there a quack, everywhere a quack quack

Chick chick here, a chick chick there

Here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick chick

Old McDonald had a farm, E I E I O

[Verse 4]

Old McDonald had a farm, E I E I O

And on this farm he had a Ford, E I E I O

With a clink clink here, a clink clink there

Here a clink, there a clink, everywhere a clink clink

Oink oink here, a oink oink there

Here a oink, there a oink, everywhere a oink oink

Quack quack here, a quack quack there

Here a quack, there a quack, everywhere a quack quack

Chick chick here, a chick chick there

Here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick chick

Old McDonald had a farm, E I E I O

[Verse 5]

Old McDonald had a farm

And on his farm he had some cows

With a moo moo here, a moo moo there

Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo

Old McDonald had a farm

[Verse 6]

Old McDonald had a farm, what a swingin' farm

And on this farm he had some chicks, E I E I O

Chick chick here, a chick chick there

Here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick chick

Moo moo here, a moo moo there

Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo

Quack quack here, a quack quack there

Oh, the heck with it

How you gonna feed them?

Down on a farm, that old, Old McDonald, too
