I Had A Little Rooster
Traditional

Lyrics:

 

I had a little rooster by the barnyard gate

 

That little rooster was my playmate

That little rooster said, “Cocka doodle doo 

Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee dude.” 

 

I had a little dog by the barnyard gate

That little dog was my playmate

That little dog said, "ruff, ruff, ruff."

That little rooster said, “Cocka doodle doo 

Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee dude.”

 

I had a little rabbit by the barnyard gate

That little rabbit was my playmate

That little rabbit said "hop, hop, hop."

That little dog said, "ruff, ruff, ruff."

That little rooster said, “Cocka doodle doo 

Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee dude.”

 

I had a little cow by the barnyard gate

That little cow was my playmate

That little cow said, "moo, moo, moo."

That little rabbit said "hop, hop, hop."

That little dog said "ruff, ruff, ruff."

That little rooster said, “Cocka doodle doo 

Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee dude.

 

Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee dude.”
