Little Red Rooster
Paul Heaton
Letra

Álbum: The Cross Eyed Rambler ( 2008)

Intro:

Hey hey, do do do do, do do do do do, do do 

Hey hey, do do do do, do do do do do, do do 

verse 1: 

What should I compare you to, that sun on winter s day? 

Tulips standing proud and bright when all around is grey 

What should I compare you to, a comet or a star? 

A little flicker where you ve been or a lighthouse where you are? 

Well I m a certain person who sees a sense of life 

That hides behind the glory days 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 use to, I ll do what I ca a a an 

And she ll be once, twice, three times your lady, and I ll be her man 

Repeat Intro:

verse 2: 

What should I compare you to, that window facing south? 

That captures sun in tiny frames and throws it round the house 

What should I compare you to, a compass or a stone? 

The rock that holds the whole thing down or the hand that points you home? 

Well I m a certain person who sees a sense of life 

That hides behind the glory days and only shines at night 

Repeat Chorus:

So listen up you middle aged or slightly older men 

If they look old 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; it s purely down to when 

Repeat Chorus:
