This song is also available on Peter & Ellen Allard's Raise the Children.

I had a rooster, my rooster pleased me
I fed my rooster 'neath the greenberry tree
My little rooster went cocka doodle doo
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee do.

I had a dog, my dog pleased me
I fed my dog 'neath the greenberry tree
My little doggie went ruff ruff ruff
My little rooster went cocka doodle doo
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee do.

I had a kitty, my kitty pleased me
I fed my kitty 'neath the greenberry tree
My little kitty went meow
My little doggie went ruff ruff ruff
My little rooster went cocka doodle doo
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee do.

I had a cow, my cow pleased me
I fed my cow 'neath the greenberry tree
My big old bossy cow went moo
My little kitty went meow
My little doggie went ruff ruff ruff
My little rooster went cocka doodle doo
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee do.

I had a sheep, my sheep pleased me
I fed my sheep 'neath the greenberry tree
My woolly sheep went baaa
My big old bossy cow went moo
My little kitty went meow
My little doggie went ruff ruff ruff
My little rooster went cocka doodle doo
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee do.


I had a duck, my duck pleased me...
I had a bunny, my bunny pleased me...
