Red Lyr Req: Barnyard Dance (Carl Martin) (14) Lyr Add: BARNYARD DANCE (Carl Martin) 04 Jan 97


Hi Bill,
Thanks for the offer, but let's just check to see if I've remembered the lyrics correctly. I think I remember the chords.

Late last night in the pale moonlight
All the vegetables give a spree.
They put out a sign saying "dancing at nine"
And all the admissions was free.
There were peas and beans, and cabbages and greens.
It was the biggest crowd you ever seen.
And when old man cucumber struck up his number,
You should 'a' heard them vegetables scream.

Well the little turnip top was doin' the backwoods flop.
The carrot shook the shimmy and she would not stop.
The little red beet kicked off his feet
And the watermelon died in a cockeyed heap.
Red tomata, agitata,
Shook up the shimmy with the sweet potata.
And old man garlic dropped dead of the colic
Down at the Barnyard Dance.

What a great tune!
Any corrections?

From the Ragwagon,
Red Riley
