Bantam Cock - Jake Thackray[00:00:01]
It was a grand upstanding bantam cock [00:00:18]
So brisk and stiff and spry [00:00:21]
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[00:00:37]
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[00:00:45]
He upped and he tupped 'em all again [00:00:48]
He did [00:00:49]
And then upon the peace of me[00:00:55]
Ducks and me geese[00:00:57]
He rudely did intrude [00:00:58]
With glazed eyes and open mouths[00:01:01]
They bore it all with fortitude[00:01:04]
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 [00:01:44]
And all of a sudden with a gasp and a gulp[00:01:52]
He clapped his hands to his head [00:01:55]
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 [00:02:03]
What a champion brute; what a noble cock;[00:02:11]
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[00:02:19]
When the bantam opened up a sly little eye [00:02:21]
He gave me a grin and a terrible wink [00:02:30]
The way that rapists do [00:02:32]
He said 'You see them big daft[00:02:36]
Buggers up there [00:02:39]
They'll be down in a minute or two[00:02:41]
They'll be down in a minute or two '[00:02:43]
