Barnyard Dance Lyrics - Tish Hinojosa

It was late one night in the pale moonlight 

all the vegetables gave a spree 

they put up a sign said the dance is at 9 

and all the admissions were free 

there were peas and greens 

cabbage and beans 

it was the biggest sight you ever did see 

When old man cucumber 

struck up that number 

you should've heard the vegetables scream 

Well little turnip top did the backwards flop 

the cabbage shook the shimmy 

and she could not stop 

and the little red beet shook his feet 

Watermelon died of the cock eyed heat 

Little tomata agitata 

shook the shimmy with the sweet potata 

and old man garlic dropped dead of the colic 

down at the barnyard dance
