"Garden, no plants would it grow/Eggplant", and the risque one, no offense intended to anyone, but the wordplay is good (referring to the hen laying eggs in the first verse)--"Rooster, he would not do his job, wouldn't go near a hen, he would not do his job/caught that (wince) gay rooster, right off of his guard/He's laying hens now". |

I can hear the tune plain as day, I even remember some of the words, but I can't remember where or when I ever learned it. Somehow, I think it might have been a pop hit, because I seem to hear it in chorus in my head. |

15 Apr 06 - 05:55 AM (#1718587) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Rooster Song From: GUEST,Bob Coltman Apart from what's in the DT, if you scroogle "no eggs would they lay" (to avoid the other rooster song), you get dozens of versions, many from scouting and campfire song sites. To the original, introduced into the folk repertoire by Bob Gibson back in the 50s, counselors and others have added lots of verses. Here are three versions more or less at random. The correct title is "They're Layin' Eggs Now," or "Chickens" -- the Rooster Song is usually used for "I had a rooster, my rooster pleased me." Nonetheless, here is The Rooster Song (Leader calls) We had some chickens! (Others answer) We had some chickens! etc. We had some chickens No eggs would they lay We had some chickens No eggs would they la-ay So I said honey This sure ain't funny We're loosing money No eggs would they lay. Then came that rooster Right into our yard He caught them chickens Right off of their guard They're laying eggs now Like they never used to The day that rooster Came into our yard We had some milk cows No milk would they give We had some milk cows No milk would they gi-ive So I said honey this sure ain't funny were loosing money no milk would they give. Then came that rooster Right into our yard He caught them milk cows Right off of their guard They're giving egg nog Like they never used to Since the day that rooster Came into our yard. We had some elephants No tusks would they grow We had some elephants No tusks would they grow So I said...

02 May 19 - 06:44 PM (#3990439) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Rooster Song From: keberoxu The first time I heard a quartet of high-school students perform this at summer camp, they too were drawn to the conclusion, "he's layin' hens, now, just like he useta ... " but their final verse took a different route by which to approach that punch-line. We gotta rooster, who's dog-gone queer; We gotta rooster, who's dog-gone queer. Said to my honey, "we're losing money, 'Cos we gotta rooster, who's dog-gone queer." THEN came a Psy-chia-trist into our yard, He caught that rooster right off his guard ... and so to bed. |
