Story behind the song
The dancing trees Jumping Jacques and Dancing Denise face the peril of M. LeMolchaire's mulching machine. A goat-farm girl rescues the pair and takes them to her farm in the French countryside.
Lyrics
GOAT-FARM GIRL’S SONG
Intro
Bonjour, monsieur, I trust that you are well
Je viens de la campagne, as likely you can tell
I manage a goat farm in a region that is hilly
Twenty-five angoras, eight kids and a harried billy
interlude
My goats graze on meadows with rolling slopes and hills
That in the spring are beautified with charming daffodils
The barn where the goats live is red and somewhat pretty
And is sizeable, not smelly or particularly dirty
The birds in the rafters flit about in happiness and song
In short a lovely place where evergreens belong
Where evergreens belong
interlude
I need two pretty plants to flank the entrance to the farm
Oh, please sir, these lovely trees will provide the needed charm
May Ii purchase them? They are of no use to you.
I can take them with me now and then will bid you adieu adieu, adieu, good-bye
