"Little Red Rooster"

I'm a little red rooster

Too lazy to crow for day

I'm a little red rooster

Too lazy to crow for day

Keep everything in the barnyard

Upset in every way

Dogs begin to bark now

And the hounds begin to howl

Dogs begin to bark now

And the hounds begin to howl

Watch out, stray cat

The little red rooster's on the prowl

If you see the little red rooster

Won't you please drive him home

If you see the little red rooster

Won't you please drive him home

Been no peace in the barnyard

Since that little red rooster's been gone

I'm a little red rooster

Too lazy to crow for day

I'm a little red rooster

Too lazy to crow for day

Keep everything in the barnyard

Upset in every way
