| Well, I went to the dance and the animals come,
|
| Jaybird danced with horse-shoes on.
|
| Grasshopper danced till he fell on the floor
|
| Jig along, jig along, jig along home.
|
| Jig jiga jig jiga jig along home,
|
| Jig jiga jig jiga jig along home.
|
| Jig along, jig along, jig along home,
|
| Jig jiga jig jiga jig along home.
|
| Centipede danced with the big giraffe,
|
| Spider danced with the rattlesnake,
|
| Elephant danced with the scorpio,
|
| Jig along, jig along, jig along home.
|
| Fishing worm done the fishing reel,
|
| Lobster danced on the peacock’s tail,
|
| Baboon danced with the rising moon,
|
| Jig along, jig along, jig along home.
|
| And the rooster cut his weevily wheat,
|
| The catfish tromped the cuckoo’s feet,
|
| The ostrich stomped with the kangaroo,
|
| Jig along, jig along, jig along home.
|
| Mama rat took off her hat,
|
| Shook the house with the old tom cat,
|
| The alligator beat his tail on the drum,
|
| Jig along, jig along, jig along home.
|
| The boards did rattle and the house did shake,
|
| The clouds did laugh and the world did quake,
|
| New moon rattled some silver spoons,
|
| Jig along, jig along, jig along home.
|
| The nails flew loose and the floors broke down,
|
| Everybody danced around and around,
|
| The house come down and the crowd went home,
|
| Jig along, jig along, jig along home. |
