I love my little rooster,
And that chicken loves me.
I’m gonna cherish my rooster
‘Neath a green bay tree.

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

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)

I love my little duck,
And my duckling loves me.
I’m gonna cherish that duck
‘Neath a green bay tree.
My little duck goes quack, quack.
(Etc.)

And I love my little guinea;
My guinea loves me.
I’m gonna cherish that guinea
‘Neath the green bay tree.
My little guinea goes potterack.
(Etc.)

And I love my little pig hog,
And my pig hog loves me.
I’m gonna cherish that pig
‘Neath the green bay tree.
My little pig goes ump, ump,
My little guinea potterack,
(Etc.)

And I love my little dog,
And my dog, he loves me.
I’m gonna cherish that dog
‘Neath a green bay tree.
My little dog goes bow-wow,
