\nOpen up the barn door, tra la la
\nThere’s a sheep inside, he’s saying Baa
\nOpen up the barn door, it’s a sunny day
\nThere’s a horse inside, and she’s saying Neigh
\nOpen up the barn door as fast as you know how
\nThere’s a cat inside, and she’s saying Meow
\nOpen up the barn door, keep it open now
\nThere’s a dog inside who’s saying Bow-wow
\nOpen up the barn door, we have a lot to do
\nThere’s a cow inside, and she’s saying Moo
\nOpen up the barn door, quick as you can point
\nThere’s a pig inside, and he is saying Oink<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
