Bantam Cock - Jake Thackray[00:00:00]

It was a grand upstanding bantam cock[00:00:17]

So brisk and stiff and spry[00:00:20]

With springy step and jaunty plume[00:00:23]

And a purposeful look in his eye[00:00:26]

In his little black blinking eye he had[00:00:28]

I took him to the coop and introduced him[00:00:36]

To my seventeen wide-eyed hens[00:00:39]

He tupped and he tupped as a hero tups[00:00:42]

And he bowed from the waist to them all and then[00:00:44]

He upped and he tupped 'em all again he did[00:00:47]

And then upon the peace of me ducks and me geese[00:00:55]

He rudely did intrude[00:00:58]

With glazed eyes and open mouths[00:01:00]

They bore it all with fortitude[00:01:03]

And a little bit of gratitude they did[00:01:06]

He jumped my giggling guinea fowl[00:01:14]

And forced his attentions upon[00:01:17]

My twenty hysterical turkeys and[00:01:19]

A visiting migrant swan[00:01:22]

But the bantam thundered on he did[00:01:25]

He ravished my fan-tailed pigeons and[00:01:33]

Me lily-white columbines[00:01:36]

And while I was locking up the budgerigar[00:01:38]

He jumped my parrot from behind[00:01:41]

She was sitting on me shoulder at the time[00:01:43]

And all of a sudden with a gasp and a gulp[00:01:52]

He clapped his hands to his head[00:01:54]

Fell flat on his back with his toes in the air[00:01:57]

My bantam cock lay dead[00:02:00]

And the vultures circled overhead they did[00:02:02]

What a champion brute what a noble cock[00:02:10]

What a way to live and to die[00:02:13]

I was diggin' him a grave to save his bones[00:02:16]

From the hungry buzzards in the sky[00:02:18]

When the bantam opened up a sly little eye[00:02:21]

He gave me a grin and a terrible wink[00:02:29]

The way that rapists do[00:02:32]

He said you see them big daft buggers up there[00:02:36]

They'll be down in a minute or two[00:02:41]

They'll be down in a minute or two[00:02:43]
