Song Lyric Wednesday: Our Favorite Pet

As sung by The Limeybirds, who you should totally Google and go watch their act live if you get the chance. These girls are hysterical--and the interpretative dance is worth the price of admission alone. When I grow up, I want to be Charity.


Some folks have a pussy, a budgee or a tit,

Some folks have a puppy to fill the house with sh….

But me, I raise chickens, and I’ve a favorite one,

He’s Dick, my little cockerel, and I don’t know where he’s gone.

Has anybody seen my cock,

My big Rhode Island Red,

He’s mostly pink

With a little bit of blue

And purple round his head.

He’ll stand straight up in the morning

And gives me quite a shock *cock-a-doodle-doo*

[He’s a chicken.]

Has anybody seen,

Anybody seen,

Anybody, anybody seen my cock

He’s a plucky little fellow

And he’ll stand straight up to me!

He’ll raise his head,

Again and again,

And make me utter, “WHEEEEE”

Has anybody seen my cock,

My big Rhode Island Red,

He’s mostly pink

With a little bit of blue

And purple round his head.

He’ll stand straight up in the morning

And gives me quite a shock *cock-a-doodle-doo*

[He’s a chicken.]

Has anybody seen,

Anybody seen,

Anybody, anybody seen my cock

His two enormous waddles hang down

The best you’ll ever find,

Mister, you can stroke him if you like

If you feel that way inclined.

Has anybody seen my cock,

My big Rhode Island Red,

He’s mostly pink

With a little bit of blue

And purple round his head.

He’ll stand straight up in the morning

And gives me quite a shock *cock-a-doodle-doo*

[He’s a chicken.]

Has anybody seen,

Anybody seen,

Anybody, anybody seen my cock

But now he’s gone

And flown the coop

His life was such a strain

He was always up…

When I needed him.

Perhaps he’ll come again.

Has anybody seen my cock,

My big Rhode Island Red,

He’s mostly pink

With a little bit of blue

And purple round his head.

He’ll stand straight up in the morning

And gives me quite a shock *cock-a-doodle-doo*

[He’s a chicken.]
