INTRO
Old MacDonald had a sanctuary farm
Ee-i-ee-i-oh
And on that farm lived her animal friends
Ee-i-ee-i-oh
Oh she saved one here
She rescued one there
Protected and took care of them
Made a safe haven
Old MacDonald had a sanctuary farm
Ee-i-ee-i-oh
VERSE 1
And on that farm there lived a cow
Ee-i-ee-i-oh
With a moo moo here and a moo moo there
Here a moo there a moo everywhere a moo moo
Old MacDonald had a sanctuary farm
Ee-i-ee-i-oh
VERSE 2
And on that farm there lived a pig
Ee-i-ee-i-oh
With an oink oink here…
VERSE 3
Goat…maaaa
VERSE 4
Chickens…cluck cluck
VERSE 5
Sheep…baaaa
VERSE 6
Turkey…gobble gobble
BRIDGE
Old Mac’s farm is a magical place
Where the animals have plenty of air light and space
They’re healthy and happy and safe and warm
And no one’s gonna eat them or cause them any harm
They’re free to love each other and run and play
Just like people wanna — we’re really the same
Hey, maybe all farms could be this way
Maybe all farms could be sanctuary farms some day
BREAKDOWN
There’s a happy duck goin’ quack quack quack
There’s a happy dog, goin’ bow wow wow
There’s a happy horse, goin’ neigh
There’s a happy cat, goin’ me-ow
There’s a happy donkey goin’ hee-haw hee-haw
There’s a happy rabbit goin’ nibble nibble nibble
There’s a happy rabbit goin’ nibble nibble nibble
VERSE 7
With a nibble nibble here and a nibble there
Here a nibble there a nibble everywhere a nibble nibble
Hee-haw here and a hee-haw there
Here a hee there a haw everywhere a hee-haw
Meow here
And a neigh there
A bow wow here
And a quack quack there
And a gobble gobble here
And a baaaa there
And a cluck cluck here
And a maaaa there
And an oink oink here
And a moo moo there
Here a moo there a moo
Everywhere a moo moo mooooooooooo
Old MacDonald had a sanctuary farm
Ee-i-ee-i-oh
