[Verse 1]
I got a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
I got a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
Keep everything in the barnyard, upset in every way

[Verse 2]
Dogs begin to bark now, and the hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to bark now, and the hounds begin to howl
You know the little red rooster is on the prowl

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
If you see a little red rooster, won't you please send him home
If you see a little red rooster, won’t you please send him home
Been no peace in the barnyard, since the little red rooster's been gone
Little red rooster's been gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
I got a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
I got a little red rooster, too lazy, too lazy to crow for days
Keep everything in the barnyard, upset in every way
