Of course, you can add verses with whatever animals, things or beings you want Old MacDonald to have on his farm. Just make sure you keep the song additive. For real variation, say what the animals say in a foreign language or two. Above all, have fun with this song!

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O!

And on his farm he had some chicks, E-I-E-I-O!

With a cluck-cluck here, and a cluck-cluck there

Here a cluck, there a cluck, everywhere a cluck-cluck

For an easier version, don't make it a cumulative, or additive, song. Just sing the sound effect of whatever animal you sing about in that verse, instead of adding that sound to all the other sounds that have gone before.
