Hey everybody, Matt Hawk here.
Okay, well I've been requested to sing this song.
It's called the rooster song
It follows me around everywhere thought I would share it part of this song was from a gentleman
I had heard
Sing it years ago when I used to jam out with him in a band and he had heard it when he was a little
Kid so only part of it is from there and it just dates way back apparently
But I couldn't remember all the verses so I've made up some of my own sitting around
You know hanging around with friends and then kind of spilling some stuff here and there
So this is called the rooster song and it goes like this.
Hope you enjoy it
Please feel free to make your animal sounds and hold your laughter as much as possible
