The Lyrics

why don't you wake me like a rooster do ?
why don't you greet me with a mornin' cue ?
start blarin' real early or i'll lie with no clue
why don't you wake me like a rooster do ?

when time for jumpin', start a thumpin'
and a-crowin' for a long long while
and make it clearer, louder, brasher
in your cocky style

why don't you be a sport and hoot and screech ?
maybe you'd do it if i just beseech
if you only mumble, it'll never get through
why don't you wake me like a rooster do ?

when time for jumpin', start a thumpin'
and a-crowin' for a long long while
and make it clearer, louder, brasher
in your cocky style

why don't you rouse me like a rooster do ?
huff puff a-puffin' still your face is blue
sure its strange, but i'm pleadin' with you
why don't you wake me like a rooster do ?

Trust me. You don't want a rooster crowing outside your window at 3AM. You're not even allowed to own one in Burbank.

I used to think that "cock-a-hoop" was a deviant practice until I discovered Webster's dictionary... another parody to crow about, Alvin :-)
