I went to the dance and the animals came
Jaybird danced with horseshoes on
Grasshopper danced 'til he fell on the floor
Jig along, jig along jig along home

Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home
Jig along, jig along, jig along home
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home

Fishing worm danced the fishing reel
Lobster danced on the peacock's tail
Baboon danced with the rising moon
Jig along, jig along, jig along home

Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home
Jig along, jig along, jig along home
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home

Mama Rat took off her hat
Shook the house with the old tomcat
Alligator beat his tail on the drum
Jig along, jig along, jig along home

Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home
Jig along, jig along, jig along home
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home
The boards did rattle and the house did shake
The clouds did laugh and the world did quake
New moon rattled some silver spoons
Jig along, jig along, jig along home

Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home
Jig along, jig along, jig along home
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home

The nails flew loose and the floor broke down
Everybody danced around and round
The house came down and the crowd went home
Jig along, jig along, jig along home

Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home
Jig along, jig along, jig along home
Jig, jig-a-jig-a-jig-a-jig along home

Jig along, jig along, jig along home...
Jig along, jig along, jig along home
