Irish Music - The Rooster Lyrics lyrics

rate me

I was out at the hen house

And on me knees

I thought I heard the chicken sneeze

It was only the rooster saying his prayers

Thanking the Lord for the Hens upstairs

We had some chickens no eggs would they lay

We had some chickens no eggs would they lay

The wife said honey we're losing money

Because those chickens no eggs would they lay

Then came a rooster into our yard

And he caught them chickens right off their guard

They're laying eggs now like they never used to

Since that rooster came into our yard

We had a moo cow no milk would she give

We had a moo cow no milk would she give

The wife said honey we're losing money (Oh yeah)

Because that moo cow no milk would she give

Then came a rooster into our yard

And caught that moo cow right off her guard

She's giving eggnog like she never used to

Since that rooster came into our yard

We had an elephant and no tusks would he grow

We had a elephant and no tusks would he grow

The wife said honey we're losing money (Oh yeah)

Because that elephant no tusks would he grow

Then came a rooster into our yard

And caught that elephant right off his guard

He's laying eggs now out of solid ivory

Since that rooster came into our yard

We had a rooster he was awfully gay

We had a rooster he was funny that way

The wife said honey we're losing money (Oh yeah)

Because that rooster he's funny that way

Then came a chicken into our yard

She caught that rooster right off his guard

He's laying hens now like he never used to

Since that chicken came into our yard
