Old McDonald had a farm. Eee-Eye-Eee-Eye Oh. And on that farm he shot some guys. Eee-Eye-Eee-Eye-Oh!

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker twists the children's farm song into something grim, keeping the cheerful refrain but replacing the animals with a boast that people were shot there. The bouncy chant set against violence gives the line a darkly mocking, sing-song menace.
