A        E            A     E
 It was late one night in the pale moonlight
              F#7             B7   E
 When all the vegetables went on a spree
      A         E               A          E
 They put out a sign, it said, "Dancing at 9"
             F#7           B7
 And all the admission was free
           A        E      A           E
 There was peas and beans, cabbage and greens
            F#7     B7             E
 It was the biggest sight you ever seen
 F#7
 And when old man cucumber struck up his number
 B7
 You oughta heard the vegetables scream 


 C#7
 Oh, the little turnip top did the backwoods flop
 F#7
 The cabbage tried to shimmy, he could not stop
 B7
 Little red beet shook his feet
 E
 And the watermelon cried with the cock-eyed heaves
 C#7
 Little tomater, the agitator
 F#7
 Shook the shimmy with the sweet potater
         A   A#dim          E             C#7
 And old man garlic dropped dead with the colic
 F#7         B7       E          C#7
 Down at the barnyard dance this morning
 F#7         B7       E
 Down at the barnyard dance
