I love my little rooster and my rooster loves me.
I'm gonna cherish that chicken 'neath a green bay tree.

Chorus: My little rooster goes cock-a-doodle-doo,
      doodle-doo, doodle-doo.

And I love my little hen, and that hen, she loves me.
I'm gonna cherish that chicken 'neath a green bay tree.
My little hen goes cluck cluck,
(Chorus)

And I love my little duck, and that duckling loves me.
I'm gonna cherish my duck 'neath a green bay tree.
My little duck goes quack, quack.
My little hen goes cluck cluck,
Etc.

And I love my little guinea, and the guinea loves me.
I'm gonna cherish that guinea 'neath the green bay tree.
My little guinea goes paderack,
Etc.

And I love my little pig, and my pig hog loves me.
I'm gonna cherish that pig 'neath the green bay tree.
My little pig goes ump, ump.
Etc.
