Lyrics:

Oh, I went to the dance and the animals came,
Jaybird danced with horseshoes on.
Grasshopper danced 'til he fell on the floor,
Jig along, jig along jig along home.

CHORUS:
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home,
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home.
Jig along, jig along, jig along home,
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home.

Fishing worm danced the fishing reel,
Lobster danced on the peacock's tail.
Baboon danced with the rising moon,
Jig along, jig along, jig along home.

Chorus

Mama Rat took off her hat,
Shook the house with the old tomcat.
Alligator beat his tail on the drum,
Jig along, jig along, jig along home.

Chorus

The boards did rattle and the house did shake,
The clouds did laugh and the world did quake.
New moon rattled some silver spoons,
Jig along, jig along, jig along home.

Chorus

The nails flew loose and the floor broke down,
Everybody danced around and round.
The house came down and the crowd went home,
Jig along, jig along, jig along home.

Chorus
