Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the farmyard
Upset in every way
[Verse 2]
The dogs begin to bark now
Hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to bark now
Hounds begin to howl
[Verse 3]
Watch out strange cat people
Little red rooster's on the prowl
[Verse 4]
If you see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
If you see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
Ain't had no peace in the farmyard
Since my little red rooster's been gone
