Old King Cole is a Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme that first appeared in The Queen Of Make-Believe. The Barney version has new lyrics added by Stephen White. The said song title is derived from Nat King Cole, a former American Singer. It was in E and F minor at first from "The Queen Of Make-Believe" to "Barney's Magical Musical Adventure". Then it changed to G and A major starting with "Barney's Big Surprise".

Lyrics[]

Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers 3.
Dance with the fiddlers,
Dance with the fiddlers,
Dance with the fiddlers 3.
Dance with the fiddlers,
Dance with the fiddlers,
Dance with the fiddlers 3.
Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his queen and he called for his court,
And he called for his trumpeters 3.
Dance with the trumpeters,
Dance with the trumpeters,
Dance with the trumpeters 3.
Dance with the trumpeters,
Dance with the trumpeters,
Dance with the trumpeters 3.
Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his ladies and he called for his lords,
And he called for his drummers 3.
Dance with the drummers,
Dance with the drummers,
Dance with the drummers 3.
Dance with the drummers,
Dance with the drummers,
Dance with the drummers 3.
Dance with the fiddlers
Dance with the trumpeters
Dance with the drummers
Dance and dance and dance until
You all fall down with me!
Whee!
