Farmer in the Dell Songtext
von Sesame Street

Hi everyone
Big Bird here
And I′m ready to teach you one of my favorite songs
Listen

The farmer in the dell, the farmer in the dell
Hi, ho, the derry-o
The farmer in the dell

That was fun, huh?
Hey, I've got a great idea
I′m gonna sing it again, and you, why don't you sing it with me?

The farmer in the dell, the farmer in the dell
Hi, ho, the derry-o
The farmer in the dell

Great job, now sing "The farmer takes a wife"

The farmer takes a wife, the farmer takes a wife
Hi, ho, the derry-o
The farmer takes a wife

The wife takes a child


The wife takes a child, the wife takes a child
Hi, ho, the derry-o
The wife takes a child

The child takes a dog

The child takes a dog, the child takes a dog
Hi, ho, the derry-o
The child takes a dog

Girls only
The dog takes the cat

The dog takes the cat, the dog takes the cat
Hi, ho, the derry-o
The dog takes the cat

This time, boys sing
The cat takes the rat

The cat takes the rat, the cat takes the rat
Hi, ho, the derry-o
The cat takes the rat

Now you rest your voices while we birds sing

The rat takes the cheese, the rat takes the cheese
Hi, ho, the derry-o
The rat takes the cheese

The rest is up to you


The rest is up to you, the rest is up to you
Hi, ho, the derry-o
The rest is up to you, ha, ha

Hi, ho
