Old MacDonald Had a Farm
A fun, animal-sound-filled song about a busy farm
One of the most joyful songs for making animal noises together.
Old MacDonald had a farm,
E-I-E-I-O!
And on his 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!
