This song and in fact this entire seminal album in British music is criminally underrated. Lyrically and musically untouchable for the time. RIP Barry. Musical Visionary.
Lyrics Way down in the country, every Friday night When you want to have a good time, they sure can do it right Old McChuckle had this farm and that's where they all go But until the morning comes, E-I-E-I-O (Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn (Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn (Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn (Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn Let's party in the hen house, with chickens, ducks and geese The sheep are playing poker and the goats are getting fleeced All the cows are dancing down in the old cowshed But if you want to dance with them, be careful where you tread (eurgh!)

Lyrics
Way down in the country, every Friday night
When you want to have a good time, they sure can do it right
Old McChuckle had this farm and that's where they all go
But until the morning comes, E-I-E-I-O
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
Let's party in the hen house, with chickens, ducks and geese
The sheep are playing poker and the goats are getting fleeced
All the cows are dancing down in the old cowshed
But if you want to dance with them, be careful where you tread
(eurgh!)
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
They're dancing on the haystacks, they're dancing on the roof
The piglets swing their curly tails, horses shake a hoof
Hear the rabbits rappin', see the mice, they hop
Watch the rats jive with the cats, the party never stops
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
Swing that body, shake that cheek
Move those wellies to the beat!
Ride that donkey, dig that duck
Drive that tractor, spread that muck!
Swing that body, shake that cheek
Move those wellies to the beat!
Ride that donkey, dig that duck
Drive that tractor, spread that muck!
Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Shake the barn)
Shake the barn
Shake the barn!
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
(Everybody) Shake the barn, shake the barn
