Old MacDonald had a farm — the full words, verse by verse, with the cow, the duck, the pig and the sheep, and how to let a child add the next animal.
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O. And on that farm he had a cow, E-I-E-I-O.
With a moo-moo here, And a moo-moo there, Here a moo, there a moo, Everywhere a moo-moo. Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.
And on that farm he had a duck, E-I-E-I-O. With a quack-quack here, And a quack-quack there, Here a quack, there a quack, Everywhere a quack-quack.
And on that farm he had a pig, E-I-E-I-O. With an oink-oink here, And an oink-oink there, Here an oink, there an oink, Everywhere an oink-oink.
And on that farm he had a sheep, E-I-E-I-O. With a baa-baa here, And a baa-baa there, Here a baa, there a baa, Everywhere a baa-baa. Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.
