Little Red Rooster

Sam Cooke

I'm a little red rooster,

Too lazy to crow for day

I'm a little red rooster,

Too lazy to crow for day

Keep everything in the barnyard,

Upset in every way



Dogs begin to bark now,

And the hounds begin to howl

Dogs begin to bark now,

And the hounds begin to howl

Watch out stray cat,

The little red rooster's on the prowl



If you see the little red rooster

Won't you please drive him home

If you see the little red rooster

Won't you please drive him home

Been no peace in the barnyard

Since that little red rooster's been gone



I'm a little red rooster,

Too lazy to crow for day

I'm a little red rooster,

Too lazy to crow for day

Keep everything in the barnyard,

Upset in every way
