- Verse:
- When the Sun be -gins to
rise, And you see the light in the East -ern skies, you hear
a roost -er crow.
- No doubt you've oft -en
won -dered why, If you've wak -ened by his morn -ing cry; The
truth you ought to know.
- Down in the barn yard -where
all is still, Each day at dawn comes the call so shrill.
- It ech -oes back from the
neigh -bring hill, "I am King Chan -ti -cleer!"
- When his migh -ty voice
is heard Then ev -'ry farm -yard beast and bird, you'll no -tice
will ap -pear,
- Then comes a sight that
makes you stare. An -swer -ing calls -come from ev -'ry where,
- See all the an -i -mals
gath -er there To pay hom -age to their King!
-
- Chorus:
- 'Round the barn -yard goes
the might -y cav -al -cade, Gor -geous -ly ar -rayed, See them
on par -ade!
- All the an -i -mals as -sem
-ble there, As the break of day draws near.
- All the crick -ets, bees,
and birds up -on the wing, All com -mence to sing, Hear the cho
-rus ring!
- All their voi -ces raise,
And they ac -claim the praise of Chan -ti -cleer!
- (Repeat Chorus)
