Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][E][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Cock -a -doodle -doo,
bless our old hen.
[G]She lays eggs the best she can.
Sometimes [D]nine and sometimes ten.
[A]Cock -a [D]-doodle -doo, bless our old hen.
[A]Our[D] old red hen was on her nest
[G]She [E]tried to sleep but couldn't rest
The [A]rooster came home baggy -eyed
And our old hen stood up an[D]d cried
[A]I ain't gon[D]na tak[Bm]e it [D]sittin[A]' down I[G][D][Bm]
[D]ain't gonna take it sit[A]tin' down
While [D]I'm here [E]hatch[D]in' [A]white and brown,
[G]you're out scratchin' round the town, and I [D]ain't gonna take it [A]sittin' [D]down
She said, don't say you've been alone,
them [E]ain't my feathers in your cone
If [A]you don't have an alibi,
you're [D]gonna see some feathers fly
I've heard it said while on the loose,
you [E]made the spots with
Clara
Goose
From [A]all reports of how it looked
You tell that goose her goose is cooked
I ain't [D]gonna take it [A]sittin' [D]down
I ain't gonna take it [A]sittin' down
While [D]I'm here hatch[E]in'
[A]white and brown
[G]You're out scratchin' round the town
And I [D]ain't gonna take it [A]sittin' [D]down
She said if I weren't such a stoop,
I'd [E]have a mink -lined chicken coop
Why, [A]everything I owns in
Hock, I [G]shoulda went [A]that
Plymouth
Rock
[D]You know, one night while you were out,
[G]I m[E]et a movie talent scout
He [C#dim]loves my [A]walk, he loves my cluck,
he's [D]starring me with
[A]Donald
[D]Duck
I ain't gonna take it [A]sittin' [D]down. I
ain't gonna take it sittin' [A]down.
While I'm [D]here [E]hatchin'
[A]white and [D]brown,
[G]You're out scratchin' round the town,
And I [D]ain't gonna take [G]it [A]sittin' [D]down.
You roosters out there, don't you laugh.
You [E]just can't fool your better half.
You [A]mark thy words, you'll see the day
When your old [D]hen will up and say
I ain't gonna take it [A]sittin' [D]down
[Bm]I ai[D]n't gonna take it sittin' do[A]wn
You [D]needn't [E]hang [A]around and [D]plead
I'm [G]handing me that chicken feed
I [D]ain't gonna [A]take it sittin' [D]down
Cock -a -doodle -doo, bless [A]our old hand.
[D]
