Lyrics
Barnyard Shuffle/ Chicken Coop Chant
All the chickens in the hen house are hiding from the roosters
the roosters do not know when to leave well enough alone
They jump, they strut, they wiggle
They do a little wriggle
And the hens all wish the roosters would become coyote bones
Refrain : They all go cockadoodle, cockadoodle, doey
They all sing cockadoodle, cockadoodle, do
They all go cockadoodle, cockadoodle, doey
And the hens all say that any cockadoodle do.
Well I have known some men folk
They act a lot like roosters
So let me give you women some advice
If you see one coming hide underneath the hen house
You never no just who is gonna try to give you lice
Refrain: I know some girls who say
That any cockadoodle do
Well I knew a man named Henry
No wait, Henry was a rooster
The girlie chicks all thought Henry was the bomb
The roosters were all jealous
They became over zealous
They feathers started flying
Old Henry he lay dying
The hens all started squawking
Sent them other rooster walking
And now I guess it's only Henry's cockadoodole do
Refrain: The hen's all say that only Henry's cockadoodle do
Well the moral of the story
It's the rooster's who are humble
That get a lot more feathered tails than other cockadoodle's do
