The Rooster Song – Who Crows at Morning Light?

About this song
Cucurigu, cucurigu! The sun is coming up over the farmyard and the proud little rooster is already wide awake. His comb shines bright and red, his long tail feathers fan out in green and blue, and with one big crow he wakes up the whole farm.
In this animal song for kids, toddlers and preschoolers spend the morning with the rooster. They watch him strut slowly past the hens while the little yellow chicks follow him with their eyes, puff out his chest, flap his wings and sing loud and clear at sunrise. The question verse invites little ones to shout the answer – who has a comb so bright and red? – and the catchy chorus is easy to sing and clap along to. At the end there’s a fun farm fact: did you know some roosters have spurs on their legs?

- he crows at sunrise to say good morning to the farm

Lyrics – The Rooster Song – Who Crows at Morning Light?
In the farmyard, break of day,
Proud little rooster comes this way,
See his comb so bright and red,
Long tail feathers fan and spread.
Cucurigu, cucurigu,
Hear him crow so loud and clear!
Cucurigu, cucurigu,
Little rooster’s standing here!
Who sings a song at morning light?
Who crows "cucurigu" with all his might?
Who has a comb so bright and red?
It’s our little rooster up ahead!
Cucurigu, cucurigu,
Hear him crow so loud and clear!
Cucurigu, cucurigu,
Little rooster’s standing here!
Past the hens he walks so slow,
Little chicks all watch him go,
Chest held high, he takes each stride,
His tail sways from side to side.
Cucurigu, cucurigu,
Hear him crow so loud and clear!
Cucurigu, cucurigu,
Little rooster’s standing here!
Did you know some roosters grow
Spurs on their legs, down below?
Look near their feet, just behind,
Little pointed spurs you’ll find!
Cucurigu, cucurigu,
Hear him crow so loud and clear!
Cucurigu, cucurigu,
Little rooster’s standing here!
