Compare the above song with the commercially recorded song by Ivor Biggun titled "The Cockerel Song" or "The Cocerel Song" ( recording ).
The "Cockerel Song" seems to have been recorded in 1981 and may be source for the Hash House Harrier version -- but do take the time to see (and listen) to the "Anybody Seen My Kitty" song from 1963-4 below!
Does anyone remember hearing a version of "The Cockerel Song" song earlier than the 1981?

THE COCKEREL SONG (recording)
Originally from the "More Filth! Dirt Cheap" LP by Ivor Biggun
Some folks like a pussy, a budgie or a tit
Some take up with a Spaniel pup
That fills up the house with [woof, woof] shit
Myself now I keep chickens
And I've a favourite one
He's Dick my little cockerel
And I don't know where he's gone Chorus:
- Has anyone seen my cock
My big Rhode Island Red
He's mostly pink with a little bit of blue
And purple on his head
He stands straight up in the morning
And he gives my wife a shock [scream]
Has anybody seen, anybody seen
Anybody, anybody seen my cock
He's a stiff necked little upstart
And I've known him all my life
He's my pride and pleasure
And a torment to my wife
Sometimes he's magnificent
And sometimes small and thin
But he puffs up like a pigeon
When you tickle him under the chin
Chorus
He has two enormous wattles hanging down
They're the best you'll ever find
Madam, you may stroke him if you like
If you feel that way inclined
Be careful he doesn't spit in your eye though
Chorus x 2
Has anybody seen, anybody seen
Anybody, anybody seen his cock
