Cock-a-doodle-doo
Simba

When you think
you're the only rooster
think again.
Rooster in the hen house
wins the hen.
The hen will stay
well behaved.
Until there's a hole
in the fence.
Then the hen will become
free rein again.
As the hen leaves
the roost!
That's when the other roosters
will strike again.
She will fluff up her feathers
to look the part!
Just Don't look away
for there is another
rooster up ahead.
This hen will react to
the new rooster
when it says,
****-a-doodle-doo
That's when the hen smiles
and sounds off with
a cluck or two.
As the hen sticks her chest out.
Her tail feathers will go up.
The rooster she's with.
She doesn't give a flying
fluck
And the scenario
repeats itself
over and over again.
For this rooster is just
a bird brain.
It's all in his head!
That's what the hen
will say.
You're making it all up again.
So don't walk around to proud
saying,
**** -a-doodle-doo
with this hen.
She's not your hen.
She has to go back to
the roost soon.
She scored her points
with another rooster.
With it's ****-a-doodle-doo
That's all that matters
to this hen.
So, the next time
when the hen is outside
the fence.
She won't be cluckin for you.
It will be for the other rooster
that said ****-a-doodle-doo
in front of you.
For that rooster, does not care
who is with this hen.
As long as It gets
this hen in the end!
Back through the hole
in the fence.
The hen returns to
the roost.
Like so many times before.
To the rooster in the hen house
that
always wins.
Simba

You've been together for almost a month now
It's time that you shared this with friends
But, beware of the wolf in sheeps clothing
Because this is how most friendships end
You feel it is time to expose him
To your friends and to let them all in
But, beware of the wolf in sheeps clothing
He's the original purveyor of sin
You've opened the door to the hen house
There's a fox running lose in the pen
You opened the door to the hen house
He will feast and return to his den
You opened the door to the hen house
You've let him meet your girl friend
You opened the door to the hen house
Now the fox will run wild till the end
Your girlfriends all think he is ****
He laughs when they laugh and you too
But, do you know of this wolf in sheeps clothing
and just exactly what he plans to do
He flirts and he turns down advances
He smiles and he's light on his feet
but remember the wolf in sheeps clothing
Is busy picking which one he shall eat
You've opened the door to the hen house
There's a fox running lose in the pen
You opened the door to the hen house
He will feast and return to his den
You opened the door to the hen house
You've let him meet your girl friend
You opened the door to the hen house
Now the fox will run wild till the end
He may be the one you've been wanting
But, in truth, he's not really the one
Deep down, he's a wolf in sheeps clothing
And he's only out looking for fun
He fooled you and used you for pleasure
He'll move on, when you say settle down
Remember, he's a wolf in sheeps clothing
He's the king and he wears the crown
You've opened the door to the hen house
There's a fox running lose in the pen
You opened the door to the hen house
He will feast and return to his den
You opened the door to the hen house
You've let him meet your girl friend
You opened the door to the hen house
Now the fox will run wild till the end
It's time that you shared this with friends
But, beware of the wolf in sheeps clothing
Because this is how most friendships end
You feel it is time to expose him
To your friends and to let them all in
But, beware of the wolf in sheeps clothing
He's the original purveyor of sin
You've opened the door to the hen house
There's a fox running lose in the pen
You opened the door to the hen house
He will feast and return to his den
You opened the door to the hen house
You've let him meet your girl friend
You opened the door to the hen house
Now the fox will run wild till the end
Your girlfriends all think he is ****
He laughs when they laugh and you too
But, do you know of this wolf in sheeps clothing
and just exactly what he plans to do
He flirts and he turns down advances
He smiles and he's light on his feet
but remember the wolf in sheeps clothing
Is busy picking which one he shall eat
You've opened the door to the hen house
There's a fox running lose in the pen
You opened the door to the hen house
He will feast and return to his den
You opened the door to the hen house
You've let him meet your girl friend
You opened the door to the hen house
Now the fox will run wild till the end
He may be the one you've been wanting
But, in truth, he's not really the one
Deep down, he's a wolf in sheeps clothing
And he's only out looking for fun
He fooled you and used you for pleasure
He'll move on, when you say settle down
Remember, he's a wolf in sheeps clothing
He's the king and he wears the crown
You've opened the door to the hen house
There's a fox running lose in the pen
You opened the door to the hen house
He will feast and return to his den
You opened the door to the hen house
You've let him meet your girl friend
You opened the door to the hen house
Now the fox will run wild till the end

Rooster in the hen house
always wins.
It goes to
show
It doesn't matter.
When the hen gives in.
Make the Rooster happy!
To keep the peace with in.
It goes to show.
It doesn't really matter,
to this hen.
When the lights go out.
That's when it begins.
It may be real or just
pretend.
It really doesn't matter
in the end.
Why go down the road?
Said the hen!
When it's not far to go.
It's just to the next door!
To the rooster with in.
****-a-doodle-doo
once again.
See it really doesn't matter
To the hen.
There are other birds
of the same feather.
When the hen
doesn't give in.
This hen looks for attention.
Something to sip on,
could be 1 or 2!
To stick out her chest.
A couple of winks
does the trick.
Maybe get a new do!
The tail feathers will
go up soon.
She's a free rein hen.
If it really did matter
To this hen,
towards you.
There would have
been some clucks.
Like 2 or even 10!
To whom, that thought
it mattered.
It was only pretend.
For the Rooster on
The outside.
That's the way
it has been.
If it really did matter
to this hen.
That rooster would
be out.
This one
would be in.
It doesn't matter to her.
Like it's been said.
It really doesn't matter
Because, she's not
your hen.
The Rooster in the hen house.
Will always win.
Simba
always wins.
It goes to
