Bill Bailey - Old MacDonald (in the style of Tom Waits)

8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, . Old MacDonald, sick of the farm Wants a new life, a new place to go But if you strip away the consonants from “reinvention“, You get “E-I-E-I-O“. Old MacDonald tried to give up the booze Should’ve done this a long time ago Suck out the vowels of “best intentions“, You hear “E-I-E-I-O“. No more echoes on the farm No more duck sounds in the air There’s a “quack-quack“ here... But there’s no “quack-quack“ there. Drunk on the insurance money from torching the farm, Old MacDonald gets a tattoo. It’s there on his arm amongst the skulls and the livestock, It’s “E-I-E-I-O“.
