The Farm Yard
The cock is crowing,The cows are lowing,The ducks are quacking,The dogs are barking,The ass is braying,The horse is neighing;Was there ever such a noise!
The birds are singing,The bell is ringing,The pigs are squeaking,The barn door creaking,The brook is babbling,The geese are gabblingMercy on us, what a noise!
The sheep are ba-a-ing,The boys ha-ha-ing,The swallows twittering,The girls are tittering,Father is calling,The cook is bawling;I’m nigh crazy with the noise.
Nabby is churning,The grindstone’s turning,John is sawing,Charles hurrahing,Old Dobson’s preaching,The peacock’s screeching;Who can live in such a noise!
