[Verse 1]
Got a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
Got a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
Keep everything in the barnyard, people, upset in every way

[Verse 2]
The dogs begin to bark now, the hounds begin to howl
The dogs begin to bark now, hounds begin to howl
Watch out stray cat people
The little red rooster is on the prowl

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
If you see my little red rooster, won't you please drive him home
If you see my little red rooster, please, please drive him home
Been no peace in the barnyard, people, since my little red rooster's been gone

[Verse 4]
Hey there, little red rooster, well, you ain't shit to me
You think you're a stud, boy?
Well, I doubt, I doubt you'll ever be
While you're away I'm gonna take care of your hen house
Or just me and Maybellene

[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I got a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
I got a little red rooster, too lazy, lazy to crow for days
Keep everything in the barnyard, people, upset in every way
