B.b. King - Hen Layin' Rooster lyrics

I'm a hen layin' rooster And my feathers don't match Birds fly and I see -- I'm sure enough going to snatch! I'm a hen layin' rooster And my feathers don't match Birds fly and I see -- I'm sure enough going to snatch! Pick 'em up, lay 'em down Like I used ta'... I'm the baddest hen layin' rooster... co*kle-a-doodle-y-doo... I'm a hen layin' rooster Through and through Headin' down to the barnyard Behind the henhouse patch First layin' hen that step out Gonna' get her feathers snatched Headin' down to the barnyard Behind the henhouse patch First layin' hen that step out She gonna' get her feathers snatched Pick 'em up, lay 'em down Like I used to... I'm the baddest hen layin' rooster... co*kle-a-doodle-doo... I'm a hen layin' rooster Through and through If I don't find me no hen I'll take me a turkey or chicken Or... If the barnyard's dead again... I'll pull me a goose With a little sweet talk If I can't find me no hen Take me a turkey or chicken Or... If the barnyard's dead again... Pull a goose And make her squawk Pick 'em up, lay 'em down Like I used to... I'm the baddest hen layin' rooster... co*kle-a-doodle-doo... I'm a hen layin' rooster Through and through When the henhouse burnt Right on down to the ground... You know I wasn't concerned I was in another henhouse Way 'cross town! When the hens all split From that burnt-out chicken coop... I was doin' my bit (I never quit)... Knockin' 'em all for a loop Pick 'em up, lay 'em down Like I used ta'... I'm the baddest hen layin' rooster... co*kle-a-doodle-y-doo... I'm a hen layin' rooster Through and through
