My name is Simon Cloverseed
I deal in Poultry eggs
I've ev'ry kind of chickens
that ever walk'd on legs
Such cackling you have never heard
And the chickens all to pay
When the roosters all begin to crow
at the early dawn of day
such flapping crowing cackling quackling feathers flying far and near
Mister rooster flaps his wings
When daylight does appear
The guinea hen talks politics
I tell you 'tis immense
They Have some funny arguments
while sitting on the fence
The bantam struts about and flirts
with the pigeons in the cage
The turkey turns black in the face
and the ganders in a rage
such flapping crowing cackling quackling feathers flying far and near
Mister rooster flaps his wings
When daylight does appear
The ducks are tattling all the news
About the shanghais brother
the peahen put her glasses on
and went and kiss'd her mother
The chickens cackled loud with joy
One to the other said
Miss Malay's proud as lucifer
Her first egg she has laid
such flapping crowing cackling quackling feathers flying far and near
Mister rooster flaps his wings
When daylight does appear
