Run Red Rooster
[Verse 1]
The canine blowed the whistle, the police have rang the bell
Got a canine blowin' the whistle, the police have rang the bell
Po' Red biddin' their time, get ready baby fare thee well

[Verse 2]
He jumped out the car running, when po' Red took to the woods
He jumped out the car running, when po' Red took to the woods
They try and try to catch him, can't find him in the neighborhood
(Can't find the red rooster)

[Verse 3]
Red rooster got three womens, and they sure gon' let him in
Red rooster got three womens, and they sure gon' let him in
Got one right up in Memphis, and two down in Holly Springs

[Verse 4]
Well Red ran to the bottoms, damn near 'til the break of day
Red ran to the bottoms, damn near 'til the break of day
Got them white Reeboks runnin', but he damn sure got away
