Lyrics:

Old Macdonald had a farm, ee-i-ee-i-o
And on that farm he had some chicks, ee-i-ee-i-o
With a cluck, cluck here, a cluck, cluck there
Loud as they could be
And when those chicks got out of line
Chicken fricasse
With a cluck, cluck here, a cluck, cluck there
Loud as they could be
And when those chicks got out of line
Chicken fricasse

Well, Old Macdonald had a farm, ee-i-ee-i-o
And on that farm he had some cows, ee-i-ee-i-o
With a moo, moo here, a moo, moo there
Cattle everywhere
And when those cows got out of line
Hamburger, medium rare
With a moo, moo here, a moo, moo there
Cattle everywhere
And when those cows got out of line
Hamburger, medium rare
Ohh, Well, Old Macdonald had a farm, ee-i-ee-i-o
And on that farm he had some pigs, ee-i-ee-i-o
With an oink, oink here, an oink, oink there
Pigs everywhere in sight
And when those pigs got out of line
Pork and beans at night
With an oink, oink here, an oink, oink there
Pigs everywhere in sight
And when those pigs got out of line
Pork and beans at night

Well I'm goona have a farm one day, ee-i-e-i-o
And I'll do things McDonalds way, ee-i-e-i-o
With a cluck, cluck here, a cluck, cluck there
A moo, moo here, a moo, moo there
An oink, oink here, an oink, oink there
And I can promise you
If those animals ever get out of line
We'll have a mulligan stew
How about you?

Elvis sang this children's song in his 1967 movie Double Trouble. Randy Starr provided the arrangement. Old MacDonald was recorded in June 1966, probably at Radio Recorders. In 1960 Frank Sinatra reached #25 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart with Ol' MacDonald (Capitol 4466) and Jesse Belvin and the Chargers barely made the chart (#95) in 1958. The lyrics vary from one version to another.

Several other nursery rhymes have been pop successes over the years. They include Ten Little Indians by the Beach Boys, Little Star by the Elegants (which was a number one hit), and Mary Had a Little Lamb by Paul MCCartney.
