There are lots of scarecrows on the farm
All standing proudly with outstretched arms
All day and night they guard the corn
In the field right next to the big red barn
​
But one day, a big crow swooped down.
And started pecking at the ground
​
"He's eating the seeds! Oh no, Oh no!
Naughty crow, off you go!"
​
But the crow would NOT go!
​
The scarecrows shouted "Shoo crow, shoo!"
​Then Scarecrow Emma said "I know what to do!"
​
She shook her yellow shaker at the crow...
​
But the crow would NOT go!
​
The scarecrows shouted "Shoo crow, shoo!"
​Then Scarecrow Quinns said "I know what to do!"
​
He jangled his red bells at the crow...
​
But the crow would NOT go!
​
The scarecrows shouted "Shoo crow, shoo!"
​Then Scarecrow Cooper said "I know what to do!"
​
He brushed his big broom at the crow...
​
But the crow would NOT go!
​
The scarecrows shouted "Shoo crow, shoo!"
​Then Scarecrow Blair said "I know what to do!"
​
He honked his horn at the crow...
​
But the crow would NOT go!
​
The scarecrows shouted "Shoo crow, shoo!"
​Then Scarecrow Kodi said "I know what to do!"
​
He tringed his bike bell at the crow...
​
But the crow would NOT go!
​
The scarecrows shouted "Shoo crow, shoo!"
​Then Scarecrow Kacie said "I know what to do!"
​
She flashed her torch
AND rustled her tinsel at the crow...
​
But the crow WOULD NOT GO!
​
The scarecrows all looked at each other
And said "Okay, let's try this TOGETHER!"
​
They shook, jangled, brushed, honked, tringed, flashed and rustled at the crow...
​
AND THE CROW FLEW AWAY!
​
HOORAY!​​​​
