I Had A Little Rooster
Traditional
Lyrics:
I had a little rooster by the barnyard gate
That little rooster was my playmate
That little rooster said, “Cocka doodle doo
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee dude.”
I had a little dog by the barnyard gate
That little dog was my playmate
That little dog said, "ruff, ruff, ruff."
That little rooster said, “Cocka doodle doo
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee dude.”
I had a little rabbit by the barnyard gate
That little rabbit was my playmate
That little rabbit said "hop, hop, hop."
That little dog said, "ruff, ruff, ruff."
That little rooster said, “Cocka doodle doo
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee dude.”
I had a little cow by the barnyard gate
That little cow was my playmate
That little cow said, "moo, moo, moo."
That little rabbit said "hop, hop, hop."
That little dog said "ruff, ruff, ruff."
That little rooster said, “Cocka doodle doo
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee dude.
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee dude.”
