[Doris Day, Paul Weston and His Orchestra, The Norman Luboff Choir - King Chanticleer lyrics]

When the sun begins to rise
You'll see a light in the eastern skies
You'll hear a rooster crow
All the animals appear
When they hear that cry of Chanticleer
They're up and on the go

Howdy there folks, say how ya been
Good morning ladies, my, aren't we thin
Hi there, fella, lemme see that grin
Time for the jubilee
Round the barnyard goes the mighty cavalcade
Gorgeously arrayed, see them on parade
All the animals assemble there
As the break of day draws near
All the crickets
Bees and birds upon the wing
All commence to sing, hear the chorus ring
Though they often try
They never beat the cry of Chanticleer



See the turkey chicken reel without a care
And the chicken there do the grizzly bear
While the goat begins to castle walk
You ought to stand and cheer

When the ducks begin to do the turkey trot
They get plenty hot, give it all they've got
But they can't compete with the
Spotted feet of Chanticleer

(All the crickets
Bees and birds upon the wing
All commence to sing, hear the chorus ring
Though they often try
They never beat the cry of Chanticleer)

Oh life is fine when you rise and
Shine with the king of the barnyard

Barnyard animal noises mimicked by the cast

King Chanticleer
