Rooster's Revenge

Tune: Git Along, Li'l Dogies (click to Play)

As I was out riding down past Williams Highway,
Past the wee town of Murphy I rambled, and then
I spied a poor chicken, hiding out in a news-rack,
She was cold, she was tired, and she needed a friend

Whoopie ti-y-yi-, git along Sheriff Daniel
Get along with your red light and your deputies so strong
Whoopie ti-yi-yi, git along, Sherriff Daniels
We'll be soon getting even, and it will not be long!

I brought the bird home, and bought it companions,
I paid for its feed, and I paid for its shots
I never imagined I would soon be surrounded,
On account of some roosdter with a case of ht ehots

Whoopie ti-y-yi-, git along Sheriff Daniel
Get along with your red light and your deputies so strong
Whoopie ti-yi-yi, git along, Sherriff Daniels
We'll be soon getting even, and it will not be long!

Back in old Murphy, that rooster did languish
He was crying and crowing through half of the night
He needed his chicken for natural reasons
And was telling the world that he thought 'twas not right!

Whoopie ti-y-yi-, git along Sheriff Daniel
Get along with your red light and your deputies so strong
Whoopie ti-yi-yi, git along, Sherriff Daniels
We'll be soon getting even, and it will not be long!

At last all the locals, they could take it no longer,
They were all losing sleep, looking pallid and sick
So they called Sherriff Daniels and he called out his squadcars
Recover that chicken! And bring me that Nick!

Whoopie ti-y-yi-, git along Sheriff Daniel
Get along with your red light and your deputies so strong
Whoopie ti-yi-yi, git along, Sherriff Daniels
We'll be soon getting even, and it will not be long!

In the wee early hours, they surrounded Nick's trailer
His wife, half asleep, to provide clothes did fail
She couldn't believe, for the sake of one chicken
That Nick (in red Speedos_ was going to jail

Cho

Early that morning they brought back the chicken
And with her red rooster, united in lust!!
"Well done, then, mavourneen", the rooster said to her!
"Another darn biped has bitten the dust!"

Whoopie ti-y-yi-, git along Sheriff Daniel
Get along with your red light and your deputies so strong
Whoopie ti-yi-yi, git along, Sherriff Daniels
We'll be soon getting even, and it will not be long!

But humans are smarter and their memories longer
That chicken she quickly ran plumb out of luck;
Next Wednesday a strange cardboard box was delivered
To Kentucky Fried Chicken from a UPS Truck!


Whoopie ti-y-yi-, git along Sheriff Daniel
Get along with your red light and your deputies so strong!
Whoopie ti-yi-yi, git along, Sheriff Daniels
We'll be soon getting even, and it will not be long!
