The Rooster Lyrics

I We had some chickens, no eggs would they lay Had some chickens, no eggs would they lay My wife said, Honey, this sure ain't funny We're losing money, no eggs will they lay Then a rooster came into our yard Caught them chickens off their guard They're laying eggs now like they never used to Since the rooster came into our yard II We had some milk cows, no milk would they give We had milk cows, no milk would they give My wife said, Honey, this sure ain't funny We're losing money, no milk will they give Then a rooster came into our yard Caught them milk cows off their guard They're giving egg-nog like they never used to Since the rooster came into our yard III We had some elephants, no tusks would they grow We had elephants, no tusks would they grow My wife said, Honey, this sure ain't funny We're losing money, no tusks will they grow Then a rooster came into our yard Caught those elephants off their guard They're laying eggs now of solid ivory Since the rooster came into our yard IV We had this rooster, he was so gay Had a rooster, awfully gay My wife said, Honey, this sure ain't funny We're losing money - terrible gay Then a chicken came into our yard Caught the rooster off his guard He's laying hens now like he never used to Since the chicken came into our yard
