I am the little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day. Keep everything in the barnyard, upset in every way. (2) Dogs begin a'barkin, hounds begin a'hound. Dogs begin a'barking, hounds begin a'hound. Watch out strange cat people, Little red rooster's on the prowl. (3) If you see my little red rooster, please drive him home. If you see my little red rooster, please drive him home. Ain't had no peace in the barnyard, Since my little red rooster been gone.
