“Cock-a-doodle-doo,
What they say is true.
See what they can do,
Cock-a-doodle-doo.”
And the little hens answered:
“Cut-cut-cut, cadaakut,
We can lay an egg, an egg,
Cut-cut-cut, cadaakut,
We can lay an egg.”
And if ever you are out in the country early in the morning you will hear the wonderful rooster-noise. And then you will hear the hens telling how many eggs they have laid for you.
THE LITTLE HEN AND THE ROOSTER
The little hen goes “cut cut cut.”
The rooster he goes “cock a doodle doo!
You want me and I want you,
But I’m up here and you’re down there.”
The little hen goes “cut cut cut,”
The rooster he steps with a funny little strut,
He cocks his eye, gives a funny little sound,
He looks at the hen, he looks all around,
He flaps his wings, he beats the air,
He stretches his neck, then flies to the ground.
“Cock a doodle, cock a doodle, cock a doodle doo!
Now you have me and I have you!”
