Lyrics:

One night as I was sleeping something awakened me

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

I peeked through the big ole crack in the door and what do you think I saw

The animals havin' a barn dance right in the horse's stall

And there was chicken doin' chicken reel and the muskart rambled on

The old cow did a cow-cow boogie and the rooster crowed the song

A mouse came out of his hidin' place and he danced on one leg

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

[ banjo - guitar ]

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

The rabbit wore the big bowtie and the pig was a looking in the looking glass

And the goose danced with the gander till an old dog boddied in

The horse was horsin' around a lot till the mare got mad at him

And there was chicken doin'...

And there was chicken doin'...
