Lyric Crowing Rooster (1941)
What makes a rooster crow every mornin fore day?
What makes a rooster crow every mornin fore day?
To let the pimps know that the workin man is on his way!
We up before sunrise slavin sixteen hours a day.
We up before sunrise slavin sixteen hours a day.
We pay our house rent and grocery bill and the pimps get the rest of our pay.
Men, we ve got to get together, something s got to be done.
We make the money, while the pimps really have the fun.
And while there s only house rent and grocery bill, no “mon”, no fun.
Men, can t you see, you can t keep a whole woman by yourself.
Men, can t you see, you can t keep a whole woman by yourself.
If your best friend can t get your woman, he ll frame her for somebody else.
Something about some women, that I never could understand.
Something about some women, that I never will understand.
They not satisfied with a good husband, they want some other woman s man.
