D                   A7
I know a rooster down on the farm
                    D
Everyday at dawn he sounds the alarm
G                         D
He doesn't do it like the other roosters do
          E7                                    A
He sings "Cock-a-doodle-oodle-oodie-oodie-oodie-oo"


[Chorus]
           G
He's a singin', swingin' rooster
         D
He loves to improvise
Bm               Bm/A            E7/G#         A7/G
He's the kind of clucker who was born to harmonize
    D           D7/C        G             G#dim
And everyday at dawn as the sun begins to rise
        A7                       D
You can hear him do the barnyard boogie

A7 D E A

[Verse]
    D                    A7
Now all over the country everybody's heard
                                  D
About the barnyard boogie and the one they call "the bird"
G                          D
Bantams and leghorns, they can't resist the beat
               E7
Bobbin' up and down while they're dancin' with their feet


[Chorus]
           G
He's a singin', swingin' rooster
         D
He loves to improvise
Bm               Bm/A            E7/G#         A7/G
He's the kind of clucker who was born to harmonize
    D           D7/C        G             G#dim
And everyday at dawn as the sun begins to rise
        A7                       D
You can hear him do the barnyard boogie

[Verse]
   D                            A7
So if you're up at dawn and you want a little treat
                                D
Come over to the barn where the air is fresh and sweet
G                D
Cars'll be lined up and down the lane
                          E7
But once you've heard him crow

You'll understand just why they're sayin'


[Chorus]
           G
He's a singin', swingin' rooster
         D
He loves to improvise
Bm               Bm/A            E7/G#         A7/G
He's the kind of clucker who was born to harmonize
    D           D7/C        G             G#dim
And everyday at dawn as the sun begins to rise
        A7
You can hear him do the Buck Buck Buck Buck
        A7
You can hear him do the Buck Buck Buck Buck
        A7
You can hear him do the Buck Buck Buck Buck
         D      D7 G D A D
Barnyard boogie
