We've got this motorcycle, but it wouldn't run.
My wife said, "Honey, this isn't funny. We're losing money."
That cycle won't run.

And now it's scramblin', just like it used to,
Ever since that rooster came into our yard.
7. One day that rooster began acting very stange.
One day that rooster began acting very stange.
My wife said, "Honey, this isn't funny. We're losing money."

One day another rooster came into our barnyard,
He caught that first rooster right off its guard.
He's laying hens now, just like he used to,
Ever since that new rooster came into our yard.
