Chanticleer Lyrics
Tune: I GOTTA CROW [promotional piece for Saturday dinner – never used]
Get out and crow!
Come run a mile and / We’ll wake up the island / Our numbers will grow –
Friends can’t ignore us / Our esprit de chorus / Inspires them so –
Won’t you get up and go / And crow?

You’re wonderful, you are –
You’re gonna get your picture took

Go get a mop and clean up the mess.
Soon we’ll be having for breakfast.
You can have too, if you’ll get dressed.

Pack, pack, pack your bags / Put them in the hall,
If you don't get out of bed, you won't get home at all,
And then you'll…
Row, row, row your boat, all the way to shore,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily / Life is such a chore.

Wake up, wake up, it’s morning, / You cannot sleep all day!

But if you do not get up, / You won’t get either one!

Arise – arise – open your eyes!
The day of toast is here!

WE WILL COME BACK, WE WILL COME BACK!
We’re going home today!

Down by the loading dock, early in the morning,
See the All Star Shoalers all in a row,
See the Laighton captain pull the little handle,
Rumble, rumble, toot, toot, off we go.
