Hap Palmer — Old Mac Donald's Band lyrics

Lyrics

Old Mac Donald had a band, Eee-yi-ee-yi-oh
And in this band he had a horse, Eee-yi-ee-yi-oh
With a clip, clop here and a clip, clop there
Here a clip, there a clop, everywhere a clip, clop
Old Mac Donald had a band, Eee-yi-ee-ye-oh
(wood block, sticks, tone block, claves)
And in this band the cows had bells.
… with a ding ding here …
(jingle bells, hand bell, triangle, bolt, jingle clog, finger cymbals)
And in this band he had a cat
… with a scritch, scratch here…
(guiro, guiro tone block, sand blocks, rub thread on bolt)
And in this band were rattlesnakes
… with a shake, shake here…
(maracas, shaker, rattle, tambourine, rain stick)
And everybody played at once, Eee-yi-ee-yi-oh
With a clip, clop here and ding, ding there,
Here a scritch there a scratch
Everywhere a shake, shake
Old Mac Donald had a band, Eee-yi-ee-yi-oh
