I've got a little red rooster too lazy to crow for day
I've got a little red rooster too lazy to crow for day
He keeps everything in the barnyard upset in every way

Dogs begin to bark
The hounds begin to howl
The dogs begin to bark now
The hounds begin to howl
Watch out all you kin folk
My little red rooster's on the prowl

I tell you that he keeps all the hens fighting among themselves
Keeps all the hens fighting among themselves
He don't want no hen in the barnyard laying eggs for nobody else

Let me tell everybody
Now if you see my red rooster send him home
Said if you see my red rooster send him home
I ain't had no peace in the barnyard since my red rooster's been gone
