Cock o’ the Walk Lyrics

C'mon baby move over, I'm sitting here tonight
C'mon baby move over, do the thing that's right
I can puff up my feathers, look real mean
Be the old man that this here's scene
I'm a struttin'-preenin'-bantam rooster looking for a fight
I'm looking for a fight

Hold on there partner, my hat just ain't on right
Just a minute there, govn'r, while I set it right
It's a half turn left a half turn right
This old thing used to be bright white
I'm a struttin'-preenin'-bantam rooster looking for a fight
Looking for a fight

I went on down to sports bar town to put mother hen in a fright
Took the 450 Addison to see Pulaski at night
And it's one for the money, two for the jack
Three for the joe you've got to pay back
I'm a struttin'-preenin'-bantam rooster looking for a fight
I'm looking for a fight

I'm a struttin'-preenin'-bantam rooster just looking for a fight
I'm a struttin'-preenin'-bantam rooster, I think that might makes right
I can puff up my feathers, look real mean
Be the old man that this here's scene
I'm a struttin'-preenin'-bantam rooster looking for a fight
I'm looking for a fight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
