Chanticleer
Chanticleer
Cock-a-doodle-doo's
Chanticleer
Crows and Crows
Marking the hour
Of the Final exam
He struts about the rubbish heap
Behind the class room building
Proud father of his domain
Chanticleer crows
And the students
Ignore his banter
Working earnestly upon their papers
He beckons the class
To another time and place
To a distant time
Of knights and ladies
He calls forth
A romantic spirit
On top of the rubbish heap
