When all the cows were sleeping and the sun had gone to bed
curl up on the floor, with fingers sticking out of head for horns
Up jumped the scarecrow, and this is what he said,
jump up and stick out arms like a scarecrow, feet spread shoulder width
“I’m a dingle dangle scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat,
sway back and forth on feet flop head side to side
I can shake my arms like this, I can shake my legs like that!”
Shake arms shake legs
When all the hens were roosting, the moon behind the clouds
Flap wings gently as you curl up on floor again
Up jumped the scarecrow, and SHOUTED VERY LOUD,
Same motions as above, but shout
“I’m a dingle dangle scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat,
I can shake my arms like this, I can shake my legs like that!”

finally the quiet verse:
When the dogs were in the kennels and the doves were in the loft
Up jumped the scarecrow and whispered very soft,
“I’m a dingle dangle scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat,
I can shake my arms like this, I can shake my legs like that!”
