Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Rooster Song
Subject: Lyr Add: THE ROOSTER SONG
I know a rather funny musical humor group called "Blue Kangaroo" does a version of the song. . . which goes as follows:

We had a chicken, no eggs would she lay;
We had a chicken, no eggs would she lay;
My wife said "honey, we're losing money,
because that chicken, she won't lay eggs."

One day this rooster, came into our yard;
He knocked that chicken, right offa her guard;
She's laying eggs now, just like she youster,
ever since that rooster, came into our yard.

We had a moo-cow, no milk would she give;
We had a moo cow, no milk would she give;
My wife said "honey, we're losing money,
because that moo-cow, she won't give milk."

One day this rooster, came into our yard;
(spoken) "Big rooster!" "Nah, small cow."
He knocked that moo-cow, right offa her guard;
(spoken) "What. . . did he use a stool for Christ's sake?"
She's givin eggnog, in glass containers,
ever since that rooster came into our yard.

We had a oil well, no crude would it pump;
We had a oil well, no crude would it pump;
My wife said "Honey, we're losing money,
because that oil well, it won't pump crude.

One day this rooster, came into our yard;
(spoken) "Man, I've heard of lubrication, but geez!"
He knocked that oil well, right offa its guard;
(spoken) "Yikes. . . some serious oil-working going on there."
Now it's giving Shell gas, out by the gallon,
ever since that rooster, came into our yard.

(This one is a little off-color from a gay friend of mine, sorry)

We had a rooster, he was a little bit gay;
(spoken) "Cock-a-doodle-do you big stud"
We had a rooster, he was a whole lot gay;
My wife said "honey, we're losing money,
because that rooster, he's. . .
(spoken) well, he's living a different lifestyle."

One day this sexy chicken, came into our yard;
She knocked that rooster, right offa his guard;
He's layin' hens now, and roosters too sir,
ever since that chicken, came into our yard.


there are, of course, as many different verses of this song as you can think up and/or sing. . . including ones where the rooster gets a bit homicidal and we get bacon and eggs out of the deal. . .
