Текст (слова) песни: Lonnie Johnson - Crowing Rooster (1941)
What makes a rooster crow every mornin’ ‘fore day? What makes a rooster crow every mornin’ ‘fore day? To let the pimps know that the workin’ man is on his way!
We up before sunrise slavin’ sixteen hours a day. We up before sunrise slavin’ sixteen hours a day. We pay our house rent and grocery bill and the pimps get the rest of our pay.
Men, we`ve got to get together, something`s got to be done. We make the money, while the pimps really have the fun. And while there`s only house rent and grocery bill, no “mon”, no fun.
Men, can`t you see, you can`t keep a whole woman by yourself. Men, can`t you see, you can`t keep a whole woman by yourself. If your best friend can`t get your woman, he`ll frame her for somebody else.
Something about some women, that I never could understand. Something about some women, that I never will understand. They not satisfied with a good husband, they want some other woman`s man.
