D                           G                  D
One night as I was sleepin' something awakened me

                                   A
There was a light on in my barn so I went down to see

D                                                  G                   D
I peeked through a big ole crack in the door and a-what do you think I saw?

                                     A                    D
The animals were having a barn dance right in the horse's stall
[Chorus]
                  D                                      G               D
And there was the chicken doing the Chicken Reel and the muskrat rambled on

                                           A
The old cow did the Cow-Cow Boogie and the rooster crowed a song

D                                        G                D
A mouse came out of his hiding place and he danced on one leg

                                    A              D
The old hen got so tickled that she almost laid an egg

D                                               G               D
They were all dressed up for the barn dance; it made me want to laugh

                                      A
The rabbit wore a big bow tie and the pig was a-lookin' in a looking glass

D                                            G               D
And the goose danced with the gander 'til an old goat butted in

                                               A               D
The horse was a-horsin' around a lot until the mare got mad at him
[Chorus]
                  D                                      G               D
And there was the chicken doing the Chicken Reel and the muskrat rambled on

                                           A
The old cow did the Cow-Cow Boogie and the rooster crowed a song

D                                        G                D
A mouse came out of his hiding place and he danced on one leg

                                    A              D
The old hen got so tickled that she almost laid an egg
