Little Red Rooster Lyrics
by Paul Heaton
Intro:
Hey hey, do do do do, do do do do do, do do
Hey hey, do do do do, do do do do do, do do
Verse 1:
What should I compare you to, that sun on winter's day?
Tulips standing proud and bright when all around is grey
What should I compare you to, a comet or a star?
A little flicker where you've been or a lighthouse where you are?
Well I'm a certain person who sees a sense of life
That hides behind the glory days and only shines at night
Chorus:
You're just a little red rooster; she's an old speckled hen
You've fallen in love once before, now it's happening again
Just do what you use to, I'll do what I ca a a an
And she'll be once, twice, three times your lady, and I'll be her man
Repeat Intro:
Verse 2:
What should I compare you to, that window facing south?
That captures sun in tiny frames and throws it round the house
What should I compare you to, a compass or a stone?
The rock that holds the whole thing down or the hand that points you home?
Well I'm a certain person who sees a sense of life
That hides behind the glory days and only shines at night
Repeat Chorus:
So listen up you middle aged or slightly older men
If they look old to you my friend, you sure look old to them
Take this from the rooster who found his speckled hen
It's never down to who you love; it's purely down to when
Repeat Chorus:
