Little Red Rooster

Lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] What should I compare thee to? That sun on winter's day Tulip standing proud and bright When all around is grey What should I compare thee to? A comet or a star A little flicker where you've been Or a lighthouse where you are [Pre-Chorus] But wrong is the comparison That sees us as a light That hides behind the glow of day And only shines at night [Chorus] You're just a little red rooster She's an old speckled hen You've fallen in love once before Now it's happening again Just do what you used to I'll do what I can And she'll be once, twice, three times your lady And I'll be her man [Verse 2] What should I compare thee to? That window facing South That captures sun in tiny frame And throws it round the house What should I compare thee to? A compass or a stone The rock that holds the whole thing down Or the hand that points you home [Pre-Chorus] But wrong is the comparison That sees us as a light That hides behind the glow of day And only shines at night [Chorus] You're just a little red rooster She's an old speckled hen You've fallen in love once before Now it's happening again Just do what you used to I'll do what I can And she'll be once, twice, three times your lady And I'll be her man [Bridge] So listen up, you middle-aged Or slightly older men If they look young to you, my friend You sure look old to them Take this from the rooster Who found his speckled hen It's never down to who you love Its purely down to when [Chorus] You're just a little red rooster She's an old speckled hen You've fallen in love once before Now it's happening again Just do what you used to I'll do what I can And she'll be once, twice, three times your lady And I'll be her man
