The cows in the barn go moo, moo, moo,
Moo, moo, moo,
Moo, moo, moo.
The cows in the barn go moo, moo, moo,
Moo, moo all day long.
…..ducks in the pond go
quack, quack, quack…
…..sheep in the field go
baa, baa, baa…
…..piggies in their pens go
oink, oink, oink…
3. Who Says Moo Moo (tune: The Muffin Man)
Oh, do you know who says “Moo, Moo?”
Who says “Moo, Moo?” Who says “Moo, Moo?”
Oh, do you know who says “Moo, Moo?”
The milk cow says “Moo, Moo”.
Oh, do you know who gives us milk,
Who gives us milk, who gives us milk?
Oh, do you know who gives us milk?
The milk cow gives us milk.
4. Down on Grandpa’s Farm
We’re on our way
We’re on our way, on our way to Grandpa’s farm
We’re on our way
We’re on our way, on our way to Grandpa’s farm
Down on Grandpa’s farm there is a big brown cow
Down on Grandpa’s farm there is a big brown cow
That cow she makes a sound like this – Moo
That cow she makes a sound like this – Moo
(Continue song with other animals you would see on a farm)

2. Two Mother Pigs
Two mother pigs lived in a pen (show thumbs)
Each had four babies, and that made ten (show fingers and thumbs)
These four babies were soft and pink (hold up one hand, four fingers up)
These four babies were black as ink (hold up other hand, four fingers up)
All eight babies loved to play
And they rolled, and they rolled, in the mud all day. (roll hands over each other)
At night, with their mothers, they curled up in a heap, (make fists)
And squealed and squealed until they went…to…sleep. (turn fists over, palms up)
3. Ten Fluffy Chicks
Five eggs and five eggs, that makes ten. (hold up two hands)
Sitting on top is mother hen. (fold one hand over the other)
Crackle, crackle, crackle

Ten fluffy chicks, as yellow as can be! (hold up ten fingers and wiggle)
