Had a little rooster, he'd sit up on a gate
And wake us every morning so we'd never be late
He'd sing cock-a-doodle-doo, (crow like a rooster)
Cock-a-doodle-doo (crow like a rooster)

A rooster's not a chicken, he's a different bird
And you would know for certain if you'd ever heard
His cock-a-doodle-doo, (crow like a rooster)
Cock-a-doodle-doo (crow like a rooster)
You can sing his song and sound like a rooster too, cock-a-doodle-doo

I don't know how the rooster sings his song so loud
But you can hear him far away or even in a noisy crowd

I lie in bed and try to just ignore the rooster's song
You know it's just so easy, you can't help but sing along
With his cock-a-doodle-doo, (crow like a rooster)
Cock-a-doodle-doo (crow like a rooster)
You can sing his song and sound like a rooster too,
Cock-a-doodle-doodle-ee-doo (crow like a rooster)
