The Rooster

by The Fureys

on Outlaw In Me (2015)

We had some chickens, no eggs would they lay
We had some chickens, no eggs would they lay
The wife said, "Honey, this sure ain't funny
We're losing money, no eggs would they lay!"

But then a rooster, he came into our yard
He caught them chickens right off of their guard
They're laying eggs now like they never used to
Since that rooster came into our yard

We had some milk cows, no milk would they give
We had some milk cows, no milk would they give
The wife said, "Honey, this sure ain't funny
We're losing money, no milk would they give"

But then a rooster, he came into our yard
He caught them milk cows right off of their guard
They're giving yoghurt, like they never used to
All since that rooster came into our yard

We had some elephants, no tusk would they grow
We had some elephants, no tusk would they grow
The wife said, "Honey, this sure ain't funny
We're losing money, no tusk would they grow"

But then a rooster, he came into our yard
He caught them elephants right off of their guards
They're laying eggs now - of solid ivory
Since that rooster came into our yard

We had this rooster, he was awfully gay
We had this rooster, so awfully gay
The wife said, "Honey, this sure ain't funny
We're losing money, he's awfully gay"

Then came a chicken into our yard
She caught that rooster right off of his guard
He's laying hens now like he never used to
Since that chicken came into our yard
