King Chanticleer |
| When the sun begins to rise |
| You’ll see a light in the eastern skies |
| You’ll hear a rooster crow |
| All the animals appear |
| When they hear that cry of Chanticleer |
| They’re up and on the go |
| Howdy there folks, say how ya been |
| Good morning ladies, my, aren’t we thin |
| Hi there, fella, lemme see that grin |
| Time for the jubilee |
| Round the barnyard goes the mighty cavalcade |
| Gorgeously arrayed, see them on parade |
| All the animals assemble there, as the break of day draws near |
| All the crickets, bees and birds upon the wing |
| All commence to sing, hear the chorus ring |
| Though they often try, they never beat the cry of Chanticleer |
| See the turkey chicken reel without a care |
| And the chicken there do the grizzly bear |
| While the goat begins to castle walk |
| You ought to stand and cheer |
| When the ducks begin to do the turkey trot |
| They get plenty hot, give it all they’ve got |
| But they can’t compete with the spotted feet of Chanticleer |
| (All the crickets, bees and birds upon the wing |
| All commence to sing, hear the chorus ring |
| Though they often try, they never beat the cry of Chanticleer) |
| Oh life is fine when you rise and shine with the king of the barnyard |
| Barnyard animal noises mimicked by the cast |
| King Chanticleer |
