I was out at the hen house

And on me knees

I thought I heard the chicken sneeze

It was only the rooster saying his prayers

Thanking the Lord for the Hens upstairs



We had some chickens no eggs would they lay

We had some chickens no eggs would they lay

The wife said honey we're loosing money

Because those chickens no eggs would they lay



Then came a rooster into our yard

And he caught them chickens right off their guard

They're laying eggs now like they never used to

Since that rooster came into our yard



We had a moo cow no milk would she give

We had a moo cow no milk would she give

O' the wife said honey we're loosing money (Oh yeah)

Because that moo cow no milk would she give



Then came a rooster into our yard

And caught that moo cow right off her guard

She's giving yoghurt like she never used to

Since that rooster came into our yard



We had an elephant and no tusks would he grow

We had a elephant and no tusks would he grow

The wife said honey we're loosing money (Oh yeah)

Because that elephant no tusks would he grow



Then came a rooster into our yard 

And caught that elephant right off his guard

He's laying eggs now out of solid ivory

Since that rooster came into our yard



We had a rooster he was awfully gay

We had a rooster he was funny that way

O' the wife said honey we're loosing money 

Because that rooster he's funny that way



Then came a chicken came into our yard

She caught that rooster right off his guard

He's laying hens now like he never used to

Since that chicken came into our yard
