Songtekst
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 barking, hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to barking, 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
