King Chanticleer-Doris Day

When the sun begins to rise You'll see a light in the eastern skies You'll hear a rooster crow All the animals appear When they hear that cry of Chanticleer They're up and on the go Howdy there folks, say how ya been Good morning ladies, my, aren't we thin Hi there, fella, lemme see that grin Time for the jubilee Round the barnyard goes the mighty cavalcade Gorgeously arrayed, see them on parade All the animals assemble there, as the break of day draws near All the crickets, bees and birds upon the wing All commence to sing, hear the chorus ring Though they often try, they never beat the cry of Chanticleer See the turkey chicken reel without a care And the chicken there do the grizzly bear While the goat begins to castle walk You ought to stand and cheer When the ducks begin to do the turkey trot They get plenty hot, give it all they've got But they can't compete with the spotted feet of Chanticleer (All the crickets, bees and birds upon the wing All commence to sing, hear the chorus ring Though they often try, they never beat the cry of Chanticleer) Oh life is fine when you rise and shine with the king of the barnyard Barnyard animal noises mimicked by the cast King Chanticleer
