La Cocorica

The hen came out, went for a walk
With her ten chicks around the yard
Mrs. Cocorica makes them see
What every chick should know

First, learn that here in the yard
Their father the rooster is the authority
Every day, early, his voice is heard
And it's because he orders the sun to rise

Mrs. Cocorica became fond
Of the ten chicks that God gave her
They barely came out of the shell
And already they all know the lesson well

Now chicks will have to look for
Some little worm for a snack
And seeing them scratching for a worm
The sweet hen is very happy

Mrs. Cocorica with simplicity
Feels proud of who she is
Looking at the blond ones under her feet
They are balls of English wool

Listen chicks, you must not run
Because you are little, you can fall
The foolish chickens will be eaten
By the mischievous cats or the hawk

The mischievous cats
Or the hawk
