There's a farm called Misery, but of that I'll have none
Because I know of one, it's always full of fun
They call this one Jollity, believe me, folks, it's great
For everything sings out to me as I go through the gate


All the little pigs, they grunt and howl
The cats mee-yow
The dogs bow-wow
Everybody makes some row
Down on Jollity Farm


All the little birds go tweet-tweet-tweet
The lambs all bleat
And shake their feet
Everything's a perfect treat
Down on Jollity Farm


Regular in habit
The cock begins to crow
And the old buck rabbit
Says I'm a doe-de-oh-doe


All the little ducks go quack-quack-quack
The cows all moo
The bull does, too
Everyone says "How d'you do?"
Down on Jollity Farm


(Instrumental Break)


There's a fox who stumbles
And roundabout he'll rush
But he only grumbles
When they try buffing his brush
