The Rooster Song
(during the verses the leader sings each line and everyone else
repeats. Chorus is sung all together while clapping hands.)
I had a chicken
That wouldn't lay any eggs
I had a chicken
That wouldn't lay any eggs
Chorus:
- Until that rooster came in my yard
- And caught that chicken right off her guard
- We're getting eggs now just like we used to
- Ever since that rooster came in my yard
