About this song

A cumulative farm song hugely popular across the US and Canada. Each verse adds a new animal and its sound, making it a brilliant tool for teaching animal names, sounds, and the joy of repetition and prediction.

How to do it (Step by step)
  • āœ“Make each animal sound clearly and let baby copy.
  • āœ“Ask 'What does the cow say?' and wait for a response.
  • āœ“Add a new animal each time you sing it.

Lyrics & Rhyme

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O. And on his farm he had a cow, E-I-E-I-O. With a moo-moo here and a moo-moo there, Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo-moo. Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.
