I HAD A ROOSTER

(learned from my sister Phyllis Fitz in about 1951)

I had a rooster, my rooster loved me,
I fed my rooster on green bay tea,
My little rooster went Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doo!

I had a kitty, my kitty loved me,
I fed my kitty on green bay tea,
My little kitty went Meow, meow, meow,
My little rooster went Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doo!

I had a puppy,...
My little puppy went Bow, wow, wow,
My little kitty went Meow, meow, meow,
My little rooster went Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doo

Duckie: quack-quack-quack!

Sweetie: smack-smack-smack!

for a spoof:
I had a doggie, my doggie loved me,
I fed my doggie on green bay tea,
My little doggie went Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doo!
