Little Red Rooster

I am the little red rooster, too lazy to crow today

I am the little red rooster, too lazy to crow today

Keep everything in the farmyard

Upset in ev'ry way



The dogs begin to barkin', hounds begin to howl

Dogs begin to barkin', hounds begin to howl

Watch out strange cat people

Little red rooster's on the prowl



If you see my little red rooster, please drive him home

If you see my little red rooster, please drive him home

Ain't no peace in the farmyard

Since my little red rooster's been gone
