lyrics

Down in the meadow, in the middle of the meadow
In the middle of the meadow there’s a party goin on
Down in the meadow, in the middle of the meadow
There’s a fiddle and a banjo playin an old-timey song

Down in the meadow there’s a circle of critters
In the center of the circle there’s a horse and a cow
Down in the meadow, in the center of the circle
The horsey and the cow, they start to dance

Trot, trot, trot goes the horse
Cuz he’s showin off his force in the middle of the meadow
Stomp, stomp, stomp goes the cow
Cuz that’s all she knows how and there’s a party goin on

Down in the meadow, in the middle of the meadow
In the center of the circle there’s a rooster and a hen
Down in the meadow, in the center of the circle
The rooster introduced her to his dance

Strut, strut, strut goes the rooster
Cuz he’s tryin to seduce her in the middle of the meadow
Cluck, cluck, cluck goes the hen
Cuz she ain’t impressed with him and there’s a party goin on

Down in the meadow, in the middle of the meadow
To the center of the circle scurry three blind mice
Down in the meadow, in the center of the circle
A rumble-tumble cat ain’t playin nice

Skit, scat, skitter go the mice
Cuz they’re runnin for their lives in the middle of the meadow
Pounce, pounce, pounce goes the cat
As she’s swipin and she grabs a little mousie by the tail
Up, up, up goes the mouse
To the mouth of the cat, he’s a tremblin little fellow
No, no, no....
Well you can’t hurt a friend when there’s a party goin on, oh no!

Down in the meadow, in the middle of the meadow
In the middle of the meadow there’s a party goin on
Down in the meadow, in the middle of the meadow
A mousie and a cat are gettin famously along

Dance, dance, dance everybody
Dance everybody in the middle of the meadow
Dance, dance, dance everybody
Dance everybody, there’s a party goin on
