Barn Dance 03:50
Chickens in the barnyard, pigs in the sty Fish in the river, birds flying high I'm going to a barn dance kick up my heels Feel about as good as a body feels whoa-ho, dancing. Whoa-ho spinning around whoa-ho, dancing. Whoa-ho spinning around Raindrops falling pit, pit, pat Take your raincoat and wear your hat I'm going to a barn dance everybody's there bells on their toes and flowers in their hair whoa-ho, dancing. Whoa-ho spinning around whoa-ho, dancing. Whoa-ho spinning around Papa's in the kitchen baking bread Mama's on the sofa playing dead I'm going to a barn dance feeling alive Everybody's buzzing like bees in a hive whoa-ho, dancing. Whoa-ho spinning around whoa-ho, dancing. Whoa-ho spinning around
