[Verse 1]
I got a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
Just a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
Keep everything in the barnyard, people, 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
Watch out, stricken 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, won't you please, please drivе him home
Been no peace in thе barnyard, people, since my little red rooster's been gone


[Instrumental break]

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