Too lazy to crow the day
I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow the day
Keeps everything in the barnyard
Upset in every way
Well if you see my lttle red rooster
Well if you see my lttle red rooster
Please drive him home
Ain't been no peace in the barnyard
Since my little red rooster's been gone
Well all the dogs begin to bark
And all the hounds begin to howl
Well all the dogs begin to bark
And all the hounds begin to howl
Watch out strange kin people
Little red rooster's on the prowl
