I got a little red rooster Too lazy to crow for day I got a little red rooster Too lazy to crow for day He keeps everything in the barnyard Upset in every way Dogs begin to bark And the hounds begin to howl Dogs begin to bark And the hounds begin to howl Watch out all you kin folk My little red rooster's on the prowl I tell you that he keeps all the chick Fighting among themselves Keeps all the chicks Fighting among themselves He don't want no chicks in the barnyard Layin' eggs for nobody else Let me tell everybody... Now If you see my red rooster Send him home Said If you see my red rooster Send him home I ain't had no peace in the barnyard Since my red rooster's been gone
