You always do so well--have you ever done SAMs Big Rooster by Savoy-Doucet Band?

That would be a good one for Marc. I can understand enough of it to get a chuckle.

Easy, the lyrics are on the booklet !!
It's true, the rhythm is fast. Ann Savoy says that it’s the first Cajun rap.

Moi je cours les poules tous les grandes journées
Ca pond des œufs pour Sam manger
Ma crête est rouge et mes éperons sont grands
Ma viande est dure mais ça, ça prend.

C’est mon qui chante au barre du jour
Tous les matins quand ça fait noir
Ca fait le soleil vouloir se lever
Ca fait les poules envie de sauter.

Ca prend tout ça et tit brin plus
Pour être le coq dans le poulailler
Si j’arrête de faire tout ça je dis
Je vas deviner gumbo dans le bol à Sam.

(Repeat verse 1)

English lyrics

Me I chase chickens all the day long
So they’ll lay some eggs for Sam to eat
My comb is red, my spurs are long
My meat is hard, but that’s what it take.

It’s me who sing at the break of the day
Every morning when it’s still dark
That’s what makes the sun want to come up
That’s what makes the chickens want to jump up and down.

It takes all that and a little bit more
To be the c-o-c-k in the chicken yard
If I stop doing all the things I’ve said
I’ll become gumbo in Sam’s big bowl.

Marc.

Wasn't that written by Gerard Dole who sometimes pops in here? Maybe he will chime in.
