Lyrics
(Folk song)
Down in the meadow, hop a doodle, hop a doodle,
Down in the meadow, hop a doodle doo.
Down in the meadow the colt began to prance,
The cow began to whistle and the pig began to dance.
Down in the barnyard, hop a doodle, hop a doodle.
Down in the barnyard, hop a doodle doo.
Down in the barnyard the goose began to sing,
The hen began to cackle as the rooster flapped a wing.
