Romeo The Old Red Rooster
Romeo the old red rooster is long gone--------- {Chorus
He awakened everyone with his morning song
He was up before the crack of daylight
Crowing a tune with all his might
He was proud, arrogant and loved each hen
Strutted his stuff in the barnyard pen
He ruffled everyone’s feathers every day
Neighbors complained and had much to say
He crowed every morning before four
Awakened me from my deep snore
Telephones rang, “Get rid of that pest”
So we can have some decent rest
Romeo the old red rooster is long gone-------- {Chorus
He awakened everyone with his morning song
He was up before the crack of daylight
Crowing a tune with all his might
Romeo had reached the age of ten
Still pleasing all the flighty hens
He was tough but his love he shared
He had no worries and no cares
He never missed a day in song
Didn’t know he was doing anything wrong
He was pompous and the barnyard king
He laid no eggs but sure could sing
Romeo the old red rooster is long gone-------- {Chorus
He awakened everyone with his morning song
He was up before the crack of daylight
Crowing a tune with all his might
Instr. Break
There came a time I didn’t know what to do
Romeo’s became our nearest neighbor’s stew
I really miss that rooster but it is too late
His early morning ruckus sent him to his fate
The moral of this story I relate to you
Unnecessary crowing will get you into a stew
The moral of this story I relate to you
Unnecessary crowing will get you into a stew
