lyrics
When all the cows were sleeping
And the sun had gone to bed
Up jumped the scarecrow
And this is what he said
Chorus:
I'm a dingle, dangle scarecrow
With a great big floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
And I can shake my feet like that
When all the hens were roosting
And the moon behind a cloud
Up jumped the scarecrow
And shouted very loud
Loud Chorus
When dogs were in the kennels
And doves were in the loft
Up jumped the scarecrow
And whispered very soft
Soft Chorus
Loud Chorus
