He's forty, but he thinks
That he's twenty
He's got that boyish grin
And he grins plenty
At every pretty girl
That he's passing
He thinks that they're all his
For the asking
He's never aged a day
Hear him swear
Loving cares done wonders for his hair
Except a few bald spots are showing
The old rooster's back
And he's crowing
The old roosters back and he's crowing
Age ain't taught him nothing
And it's showing
One of these days he'll wake up and know
He's been knocked off his roosting pole
He's the king of the roost
See him strutting
For punishment that old boy's a glutton
This old hen might start feather-picking
If he don't stop eyeballing the chickens
Adamantly, he's taken by the truckload
He says that he's never gonna grow old
But I've got news for him
That's quite alarming
He became a grandpa this morning
The old roosters back and he's crowing
Age ain't taught him nothing
And it's showing
One of these days he'll wake up and know
He's been knocked off his roosting pole
