The Egg-Laying Hen
My scrawny hen, a few days ago laid an egg
And from the egg two tiny chicks were born
And from the egg two tiny chicks were born
They would say peep peep mommy, peep peep peep mama
They would say peep peep mommy, peep peep peep mama
Peep peep, cluck, peep, cluck, peep peep, cluck
As the days went by, one chick turned into a hen
And the chick's companion completed the little pair
And the chick's companion completed the little pair
And he would say
Peep peep little sister peep peep peep sister
Peep peep little sister peep peep peep sister
Peep peep cluck, peep peep cluck, peep peep cluck, peep peep cluck
The pair grew up, and one day from my balcony
I saw the hen turned into a rooster and the chick a flyer
I saw the hen turned into a rooster and the chick a flyer
And he crowed
Cock-a-doodle-doo peep peep
Cock-a-doodle-doo peep peep
Mommy!
Cock-a-doodle-doo peep peep peep peep
Cock-a-doodle-doo peep peep peep peep
Meow!
Peep peep cluck, peep peep cluck, peep peep cluck, peep peep cluck
The rooster became a hen when she started laying eggs
And the flyer is the rooster that crows at dawn
And the flyer is the rooster that crows at dawn
And that's how it sings
Cock-a-doodle-doo at five
Cock-a-doodle-doo at six
Cock-a-doodle-doo at six
At five at six
At five at six
At five five six
At five at six
At five at six
At five at six
At five five six
At five at six
At five at six
