Story Behind The Song

This song reminds me of my visits as a child to an uncle's farm. He and his family loved their farm and their animals.

Song Description

This funny song depicts animals, Grandpa, and the grandchild making music and dancing in the barn in the evening. It's all about enjoying life and having fun together.

Lyrics

My Grandpa has a magic farm
With wonderful things to see.
It's fun to visit Grandpa's farm. Now come along with me. My grandpa works on the farm all day, from morn to setting sun. But when the evening sun goes down he believes in having fun. Chorus: Way down on Grandpa's farm, let the good times roll. Way down on Grandpa's farm, where the cat plays the fiddle and we dance just a little--way down on Grandpa's farm. When evening comes we have a party, right down in the barn. We dance and sing 'til the rafters ring, way down on Grandpa's farm. My Grandpa plays the banjo fine. I like to play the drum. Now you can play the tambourine. It really will be fun! (Chorus) The horse goes dancin' round the barn with a rabbit on his back. The red hen lays a golden egg while the old duck sings, "Quack! !uack!" The pig is singing in her sleep with an "oink! Oink!" here and there. Her piglets squeal with pure delight. You'll want to cover your ears. (Chorus)The sheep will dance with the billy goat. They cut the rug, those two. The mice all squueak in the loft above as the old cow sings, "Moo! Moo!" When midnight comes we stop the music. Animals go to bed. We walk back to the old farm house and rest our weary heads. Our Grandma tucks us into bed after eating apple pie. We sleep all night 'til the rooster crows and the sun is in the sky. (Chorus)
