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 |
