Lyrics

Ol' macdonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o
And on this farm there was a chick
The purtiest chick I know
With a little curve here and a little curve there
This chick, she had curves everywhere
Ol' macdonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

And oh, this chick, she had a walk, e-i-e-i-o
And how this walk would drive 'em wild swingin' to and 'fro
With a little wiggle here and a little wiggle there
Man, this chick had wiggles to spare
Ol' macdonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

When she went walkin' into town, e-i-e-i-o
The local gentry popped their eyes
Tarnation, what a show
With a "goldang" here and a "goshdarn" there
"Heavens to betsy" I do declare
Ol' macdonald had a farm e-i-e-i-o

There was a barn dance saturday night, e-i-e-i-o
And the fellas came from miles around
Just to see her do-si-do
With a promenade here and a promenade there
At a square dance, boy, this chick was no square
Ol' macdonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

I used to be a travelling man, e-i-o
Until I hit macdonald's place things were mighty slow
With a little chick here and a little chick there
I didn't have a real chick anywhere
Ol' macdonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

This farmer's daughter knocked me out, e-i-e-i-o, ah-hah
I asked macdonald for her hand
And pappy hollered "go!"
With a little curve here and a little wiggle there
A "goldang" here and a "goshdarn" there
A do-si-do here and a promenade there
Got my own private county fair
'Cause ol' macdonald had a farm, e-i-o-i-o!!
