I helped Evy Mayer record Barnyard Dance on her CD Humor Me a few years ago; here's a link to info about it on her "ukelady" website.
Jay Ungar wrote a neat second verse:
"Oh, the Indian corn put the red dress on,
The Chinese cabbage tried to kick the gong;
You should have seen the French green bean,
When the chili pepper danced with the black-eyed pea!
But Big Zucchini, he was a meanie,
He picked a fight with a kosher weenie;
He said, 'No meat allowed, this is a vegetable crowd,'
Down at the barnyard dance, this morning,
Down at the barnyard dance."
Note the different nationalities of veggie mentioned in the first couple of lines, and the reference to the Big Zucchini Washboard Bandits, a group from the '80's (still around? I wonder.).
