Old MacDonald Felt So Glad
Old MacDonald felt so glad: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Old MacDonald felt so glad: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
With a ha, ha, here - and a ha, ha there
Here a ha, there a ha, everywhere a ha ha
Old MacDonald felt so glad: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Old MacDonald felt so sad: Boo-hoo, boo-hoo-hoo!
Old MacDonald felt so sad: Boo-hoo, boo-hoo-hoo!
With a boo-hoo here, and a boo-hoo there
Here a boo, there a hoo, everywhere a boo-hoo
Old MacDonald felt so sad: Boo-hoo, boo-hoo-hoo!

Old MacDonald felt so grumpy: No, no, no, no, no!
Old MacDonald felt so grumpy: No, no, no, no, no!
With a no, no here - and a no, no there
Here a no, there a no, everywhere a no-no
Old MacDonald felt so grumpy: No, no, no, no, no!

Old MacDonald felt so silly: Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah!
Old MacDonald felt so silly: Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah!
With a nah-nah here, with a nah-nah there
Here a nah, there a nah, everywhere a nah-nah

Shake My Sillies Out
Gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
And wiggle my waggles away.

Gotta clap, clap, clap my crazies out…
Gotta jump, jump, jump my jiggles out…
Gotta yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out…
Gotta stretch, stretch, stretch my stretchies out
Gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out…

Something in My Pocket
I have something in my pocket
That belongs across my face
I keep it very close to me
In a most convenient place.
You’ll never never guess it
If you guess a long long while
So I’ll take it out and put it on
It’s a great big happy smile
