This is the song entitled THE BANTAM COCK by Jake Thackray

He was a fine upstanding bantam cock,
So brisk and stiff and spry,
With a springy step and a jaunty plume,
And a purposeful look in his eye;
In his little black laughing eye there was.

I took him to the coop and introduced him to
Me seventeen wild-eyed hens.
He upped and he tupped as a hero tups.
He bowed to them all and then,
He upped and he tupped 'em all again.

And then upon the peace of me ducks and me geese
He rudely did intrude.
With a glazed eye and open mouth
They bore him with fortitude,
And a little bit of gratitude.

He jumped me giggling guinea fowl.
He thrust his attentions upon
Me twenty hysterical turkeys and
A visiting migrant swan,
And the bantam thundered on, he did!

He ravaged me fan-tailed pigeon
And me lily-white columbine,
And as I was locking up me budgerigar,
He jumped me parrot from behind.
She was sitting on me shoulder at the time!

Then all of a sudden with a gasp and a wheeze,
He clasped his wings to his head,
Lay flat on the ground with his feet in the air.
Me bantam cock lay dead,
And the vultures circled overhead, they did.

What a noble bird! What a champion cock!
What a way to live and to die!
I was digging him a grave to save his bones.
From the hungry buzzards in the sky
When the bantam opened up a sly little eye.

Well, he gave me a wink and a terrible grin,
The way that rapists do.
He said, "You see them big daft buggers up there?
They'll be down in a minute or two!
They'll be down in a minute or two!"
