The boy in the barn He wakes up every morning To the sound of the music And their laughing and screaming When he dances the chickens and the cows Start hopping all around him, around him And they're laughing and screaming But this had outraged the farmer Who had decided to let the boy stay The noise that they made Oh, the noise that they made It kept him wide awake Yes, it kept him wide awake Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo He prances, he dances He prowls, he howls They laugh and cry and join in They join in And they're laughing and screaming This cacophony wakes up the angry farmer Who was snoring, and sleeping, oh snoring He went out the house Still in his nightgown He shot the boy to the ground You can hear all of the animals Screaming all around Yes, screaming all around Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo The boy in the barn He wakes up every morning To the sound of the music And their laughing and screaming Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
