lyrics

Oh, the old red rooster, he's the color of the barn. There's a reason why he's the color of the barn. And the reason why is that the barn was painted to be the color of the old red rooster. And the old white hen, she's the color of the hen house. There's a reason why she's the color of the hen house. And the reason why is that the hen house was painted to be the color of the old white hen. Now you may say that I'm as dumb as a fence post, but there's a reason why I'm as dumb as a fence post. And the reason why is that the fence post needs paintin' 'cause right now it's about the color of a old grey fencepost without no paint.
