Cock‐A‐Doodle Don’t Songtext
von Brian Setzer

Well, I got a hen that lays hard boiled eggs
There′s a pig in the pen that's just a ham with four legs
The cows need a-milking and the chickens ain′t been fed
My rooster's waking up
You just lay around in bed
I crow all night about it but baby you won't
′Cause when I cock-a-doodle do
You cock-a-doodle don′t

I cock-a-doodle do
And you cock-a-doodle don't
I crow all night about it but baby you won′t
Just a little cock-a-doodling will do just fine
But you're driving me out of my cock-a-doodling mind
I crow all night about it but baby you won′t
'Cause I cock-a-doodle do
And you cock-a-doodle don′t


There used to be a time when I cock a doodle dooed
The chicks would come a-running and the cows would all moo
The fox is in the hen house and the feathers start to fly
There is a ruckus in the barn when I come strutting by
At five o'clock each morning the cock would start to crow
I would have flown the coop but how was I to know

I cock-a-doodle do
And you cock-a-doodle don't
I crow all night about it but baby you won′t
Just a little cock-a-doodling will do just fine
But you′re driving me out of my cock-a-doodling mind
I crow all night about it but baby you won't
′Cause I cock-a-doodle do
And you cock-a-doodle don't

The corn in the field is blowing in the breeze
And the leaves are all gone on the cottonwood trees
I can′t plow the dirt 'cause it′s dry as a bone
And that run down shack is the place I call home
I'd live in the barn but baby you won't
′Cause I cock-a-doodle do
You cock-a-doodle don′t


I cock-a-doodle do
And you cock-a-doodle don't
I crow all night about it but baby you won′t
Just a little cock-a-doodling will do just fine
But you're driving me out of my cock-a-doodling mind
I crow all night about it but baby you won′t
'Cause I cock-a-doodle do
And you cock-a-doodle don′t
