Pete The Cat: Old Macdonald Had A Farm,是一首美国童谣，歌词讲的是农民老麦当劳有个农场，那里有好多不同的动物，它们都有各自独特的叫声。整首歌曲的节拍很简单，我们唱的时候要注意保持节奏的稳定，可以通过拍手、摇沙锤等方法给自己打拍子。需要强调一下，每段第二句开头的and和第三句开头的with a都在弱拍上，紧接着的那个单词落在强拍上。

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.

And on that farm he had a cow, E-I-E-I-O.

With a moo moo here and a moo moo there,

Here a moo there a moo everywhere a moo moo.

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.
