Crowing Rooster Songtext
von Lonnie Johnson

What makes the rooster crow every morning ′fore day?
What makes the rooster crow every morning 'fore day?
To let the pimps know that the working 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
Man, we got to get together, something's got to be done
We make the money while the pimps really have the fun
And where there′s only house rent and grocery bill, no mon′, no fun


Man, can't you see, you can′t keep a whole woman by yourself?
Man, can't you see, you can′t keep a whole woman by yourself?
If your best friend can't get you a 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're not satisfied with a good husband
They want some other woman's man
