[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, people, upset in every way

[Verse 2]
The dogs begin to bark now, and the hounds begin to howl
When the dogs begin to bark now, hounds begin to howl
Watch out stray cat people
The little red rooster is on the prowl

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
If you see my little red rooster, won't you please drive him home
If you see my little red rooster, please, please drive him home
No peace in the barnyard, people, since my little red rooster's been gone
Gone

[Instrumental Break]

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