The Moo-Cow-Moo was written by Canadian born poet Edmund Vance Cook. It gained great popularity after it was published in The Saturday Evening Post in 1903. Many of my readers have fond memories of The Moo-Cow-Moo.
Below you can read the poem and listen along with the mp3 recording…
The Moo-Cow-Moo
by Edmund Vance Cook
My pa held me up to the Moo-Cow-Moo So clost I could almost touch, En I fed him a couple of times, or two, En I wasn't a 'fraid-cat much. But ef my papa goes into the house En mama, she goes in, too, I just keep still, like a little mouse. Fer the Moo-Cow-Moo might moo. The Moo-Cow-Moo's got a tail like a rope, En it's raveled down where it grows. En it's just like feeling a piece of soap All over the Moo-Cow's nose. En the Moo-Cow-Moo has lots of fun Just swinging his tail about; En, he opens his mouth and then I run - Cause that's where the moo comes out. En the Moo-Cow-Moo's got deers on his head.
En his eyes stick out o' their place. En the nose o' the Moo-Cow-Moo is spread All over the end of his face.
