Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Rooster Song
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Rooster Song
The final verse, as I heard it (back in the '60s) was:
I had me an elephant, no tusk would it bear
I had me an elephant, no tusk would it bear
My wife said "Honey, we're losin' money."
So I took the rooster
I put him in the yard
He caught that elephant
right of of his guard
(Big laugh from anticipating audience)
My rooster DIED,
but he died TRYING
since I put him into the yard...
(disolve into uproarious applause)
