Cock -a -doodle -doo,
bless our old hen.
She lays eggs the best she can.
Sometimes nine and sometimes ten.
Cock -a -doodle -doo, bless our old hen.
Our old red hen was on her nest
She tried to sleep but couldn't rest
The rooster came home baggy -eyed
And our old hen stood up and cried
I ain't gonna take it sittin' down I
ain't gonna take it sittin' down
While I'm here hatchin' white and brown,
you're out scratchin' round the town, and I ain't gonna take it sittin' down
She said, don't say you've been alone,
them ain't my feathers in your cone
If you don't have an alibi,
you're gonna see some feathers fly
I've heard it said while on the loose,
you made the spots with
Clara
Goose
From all reports of how it looked
You tell that goose her goose is cooked
I ain't gonna take it sittin' down
I ain't gonna take it sittin' down
While I'm here hatchin'
white and brown
You're out scratchin' round the town
And I ain't gonna take it sittin' down
She said if I weren't such a stoop,
I'd have a mink -lined chicken coop
Why, everything I owns in
Hock, I shoulda went that
Plymouth
Rock
You know, one night while you were out,
I met a movie talent scout
He loves my walk, he loves my cluck,
he's starring me with
Donald
Duck
I ain't gonna take it sittin' down. I
ain't gonna take it sittin' down.
While I'm here hatchin'
white and brown,
You're out scratchin' round the town,
And I ain't gonna take it sittin' down.
You roosters out there, don't you laugh.
You just can't fool your better half.
You mark thy words, you'll see the day
When your old hen will up and say
I ain't gonna take it sittin' down
I ain't gonna take it sittin' down
You needn't hang around and plead
I'm handing me that chicken feed
I ain't gonna take it sittin' down
Cock -a -doodle -doo, bless our old hand.
