lyrics

I had a rooster and the rooster pleased me
I fed my rooster on a greenberry tree
The little rooster went, “Cock-a-lee-doodly
Doodly, doodly, doodly, do”

I had a cat and the cat pleased me
I fed my cat on a greenberry tree
The little kitty went, “Meow, meow”
The little rooster went, “Cock-a-lee-doodly
Doodly, doodly, doodly, do”

I had a dog and the dog pleased me
I fed my dog on a greenberry tree
The little doggie went, “Roof, roof, roof”
The little kitty went, “Meow, meow”
The little rooster went, “Cock-a-lee-doodly
Doodly, doodly, doodly, do”

I had a goose and the goose pleased me
I fed my goose on a greenberry tree
The little goosey went, “Honk, honk, honk”
The little doggie went, “Roof, roof, roof”
The little kitty went, “Meow, meow”
The little rooster went, “Cock-a-lee-doodly
Doodly, doodly, doodly, do”

I had a horse and the horse pleased me
I fed my horse on a greenberry tree
The little horsey went, “Neigh, neigh”
The little goosey went, “Honk, honk, honk”
The little doggie went, “Roof, roof, roof”
The little kitty went, “Meow, meow”
The little rooster went, “Cock-a-lee-doodly
Doodly, doodly, doodly, do”

I had a monster and the monster scared me
So I fed my monster the greenberry tree
The little monster went, “Roar! Roar!”
The little horsey went, “Neigh, neigh”
The little goosey went, “Honk, honk, honk”
The little doggie went, “Roof, roof, roof”
The little kitty went, “Meow, meow”
The little rooster went, “Cock-a-lee-doodly
Doodly, doodly, doodly, do”
