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
