I Had a Rooster Songtext
von Fred Penner

Well, I had a rooster and my rooster pleased me
I fed my rooster ′neath the greenwood tree
And my old rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo
De-doodle, de-doodle, de-doodle, de-doo

"Yeah, you know when my rooster gets up in the morning
And he jumps up to top of the barn of the chicken coop to welcome the day
He pushes his head way back
And he goes"
De-doodle, de-doodle, de-doodle, de-doo
"Right!"

Well I had a mouse and my mouse pleased me
I fed my mouse 'neath the greenwood tree
And my old mouse went (squeak)
"Hi, quiet squeak, do that squeak again" (squeak)
And my old rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo
De-doodle, de-doodle, de-doodle, de-doo


Well I had a cat and my cat pleased me
I fed my cat ′neath the greenwood tree
And my old cat went (meow)
And my old mouse went (squeak)
And my old rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo
De-doodle, de-doodle, de-doodle, de-doo

Well I had a dog
And my dog pleased me
I fed my dog 'neath the greenwood tree
And my old dog went (woof, woof, woof, woof)
And my old cat went (meow)
And my old mouse went (squeak)
And my old rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo
De-doodle, de-doodle, de-doodle, de-doo

Woo, well I had a cow
And my cow pleased me
I fed my cow 'neath the greenwood tree
And my old cow went (moo)
And my old dog went (woof, woof, woof)
And my old cat went (meow)
And my old mouse went (squeak)
And my old rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo
De-doodle, de-doodle, de-doodle, de-doo


Well I had a lion
And my lion pleased me
I fed my lion ′neath the greenwood tree
And my old lion went (roar!)
"Hii-hii-hii-hii-hii, yi-yi-yi-yikes!"

And my old cow went (moo)
And my old dog went (woof, woof, woof)
And my old cat went (meow)
And my old mouse went (squeak)
And my old rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo
De-doodle, de-doodle, de-doodle, de-doo
"Do that rooster again!"

And my old rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo
De-doodle, de-doodle, de-doodle, de-doo (ha-ha-ha)
