Little Red Rooster

[TheWallsScreamedPoetry]

Well, I'm the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow the day.
Little red rooster
Too lazy to crow the day.
Keep everything in the barnyard
Upset in every way.

Dogs begin to bark
The hounds begin to howl.
Dogs begin to bark and
The hounds begin to howl.
Look out strange cat people
The rooster's on the prowl.

Yeah, dogs begin to bark
The hounds begin to howl.
Dogs begin to bark
The hounds begin to howl.
Look out strange cat people
Yeah, the rooster's on the prowl.

If you see my rooster
Come on man, drive him home.
See my rooster, babe
Come on man, drive him home.
Ain't been no peace in the barnyard
Since my little red rooster been gone.

Well, I'm the little red rooster, babe
Too lazy to crow the day.
Well, I'm the little red rooster, babe
Too lazy to crow the day.
Keep everything in the barnyard
Upset in every way.
