Hen Layin' Rooster

(album: N'awlinz: Dis Dat Or D'udda - 2004)

I'm a hen laying rooster
And my feathers don't match.
Birds fly and I see
I'm sure enough going to snatch!

I'm a hen laying rooster
And my feathers don't match.
Birds fly and I see
I'm sure enough going to snatch!

Pick 'em up, lay 'em down
Like I used ta'...
I'm the baddest hen laying rooster...
Cockle-a-doodle-y-doo...
I'm a hen laying rooster
Through and through.

Heading down to the barnyard
Behind the henhouse patch.
First laying hen that step out
Gonna' get her feathers snatched.

Heading down to the barnyard
Behind the henhouse patch.
First laying hen that step out
She gonna' get her feathers snatched.

Pick 'em up, lay 'em down
Like I used to...
I'm the baddest hen laying rooster...
Cockle-a-doodle-doo...
I'm a hen laying rooster
Through and through.

If I don't find me no hen
I'll take me a turkey or chicken
Or...
If the barnyard's dead again...
I'll pull me a goose
With a little sweet talk.

If I can't find me no hen
Take me a turkey or chicken
Or...
If the barnyard's dead again...
Pull a goose
And make her squawk.

Pick 'em up, lay 'em down
Like I used to...
I'm the baddest hen laying rooster...
Cockle-a-doodle-doo...
I'm a hen laying rooster
Through and through.

When the henhouse burnt
Right on down to the ground...
You know I wasn't concerned
I was in another henhouse
Way 'cross town!

When the hens all split
From that burnt-out chicken coop...
I was doing my bit
(I never quit)...
Knocking 'em all for a loop.

Pick 'em up, lay 'em down
Like I used ta'...
I'm the baddest hen laying rooster...
Cockle-a-doodle-y-doo...
I'm a hen laying rooster
Through and through.
