Lyrics
(Folk song)
1. Now I love my little rooster and my rooster loves me.
I’m gonna cherish that rooster ‘neath the green bay tree.
My little rooster goes “cock-a-doodle-doo, doodle-doo, doodle-doo.”
2. And I love my little hen and my little hen loves me.
I’m gonna cherish that hen ‘neath the green bay tree.
My little hen goes “cluck cluck,”
My little rooster goes “cock-a-doodle-doo, doodle-doo, doodle-doo.”
3. And I love my little piggy and my piggy loves me.
I’m gonna cherish that piggy ‘neath the green bay tree.
My little pig goes “oink oink,” My little hen… My little rooster…
4. And I love my little duck and my duckling loves me,
I’m gonna cherish that duckling ‘neath the green bay tree.
My little duck goes “quack, quack,” My little pig… My little hen… My little rooster…
5. And I love my little dog and my doggie loves me,
I’m gonna cherish that doggie ‘neath the green bay tree.
My little dog goes “bow wow,” My little duck… My little pig… My little hen… My little rooster…
