Hen Layin’ Rooster

I'm a hen layin' rooster
And my feathers don't match
Birds fly and I see --
I'm sure enough going to snatch!

I'm a hen layin' rooster
And my feathers don't match
Birds fly and I see --
I'm sure enough going to snatch!

Pick 'em up, lay 'em down
Like I used ta'...
I'm the baddest hen layin' rooster...
Cockle-a-doodle-y-doo...
I'm a hen layin' rooster
Through and through

Headin' down to the barnyard
Behind the henhouse patch
First layin' hen that step out
Gonna' get her feathers snatched

Headin' down to the barnyard
Behind the henhouse patch
First layin' hen that step out
She gonna' get her feathers snatched

Pick 'em up, lay 'em down
Like I used to...
I'm the baddest hen layin' rooster...
Cockle-a-doodle-doo...
I'm a hen layin' rooster
Through and through

If I don't find me no hen
I'll take me a turkey or chicken
Or...
If the barnyard's dead again...
I'll pull me a goose
With a little sweet talk

If I can't find me no hen
Take me a turkey or chicken
Or...
If the barnyard's dead again...
Pull a goose
And make her squawk

Pick 'em up, lay 'em down
Like I used to...
I'm the baddest hen layin' rooster...
Cockle-a-doodle-doo...
I'm a hen layin' rooster
Through and through

When the henhouse burnt
Right on down to the ground...
You know I wasn't concerned
I was in another henhouse
Way 'cross town!

When the hens all split
From that burnt-out chicken coop...
I was doin' my bit
(I never quit)...
Knockin' 'em all for a loop

Pick 'em up, lay 'em down
Like I used ta'...
I'm the baddest hen layin' rooster...
Cockle-a-doodle-y-doo...
I'm a hen layin' rooster
Through and through
