Chicken Coop

Early in the morning
Fore the crack of dawn
I heard him sneaking in
He’d been here at sundown
But didn’t stay long
Cause I can smell the sin
Later that next evening
Again I found him gone
With our money tin
So I played a little game of Sherlock Holmes
To find out where he’d been
Lord, have mercy
What am I to do?
Smack dab in the middle of town
Cross the road about a mile or two
I found my rooster making hay
With the ladies
Painted ladies of the local chicken coop
Later that night
I hatched myself a plan
The idea made me grin
To beat him at his own game
I’d have to play dirty if I was gonna win
To the coop right on time
Imagine his surprise
As he walked on in
There I sat
Feathers 'n paint
A lady of the coop with a sip a' gin
I said quit your cheating
Ain’t no need you see
Never ever again
I’ll be what you need daytime
Night time
Two women under just one skin
Lord, have mercy
What am I to do?
Smack dab in the middle of town
Cross the road about a mile or two
I found my rooster making hay
With the ladies
Painted ladies of the local chicken coop
BRIDGE:
If that cock-a-doodle-doo does fly
To another chicken of the night
Well, you can bet
I’ll give him a peck right square in the eye
And when I get my wings on him
I’ll ring his neck alright
Real tight
And no matter how loud he cries
He’s gonna rest in peace right next to some greasy fries
Lord, have mercy
What am I to do?
Smack dab in the middle of town
Cross the road about a mile or two
I found my rooster making hay
With the ladies
Painted ladies of the local chicken coop
I have two words for ya
Pot pie
Fried steak
Noodle soup
Am I making myself clear?
Don’t you give me none of your cock-a-doodle-doo!
You do this to me again
And I’ll cocka doodle your do
Don’t make me cross the road
And come get you 'cause you know I will
