	Story Behind the Song We have had hen for many years. The hen give us eggs and we give them long life and don't kill or eat them. From time to time we have to replace the ones that died a natural death by new ones. Recently we ordered 3 new chicken. After several weeks one of these animals became bigger and bigger and finally it turned out that the big hen was a rooster. 'Cause we have had bad experiences with roosters we didn't want to own one again. We said 'hey, either you become the first smart and friendly rooster or you're going to hell' and it worked. He became part of our family, stood by the table begging for pieces of cake during coffee breaks. He knocked on the door whenever we have been late to remind us about tea-time. Although it was not planned to have a rooster we have been very sad when someday this one surprisingly died after only 1 year of life. This song is dedicated to our rooster we will never forget. - FXP (One of The Survivors) Lyrics He was our rooster He was ok The feathers were white And sometimes grey after a bath in the dirt He was in great form Never a bad thought No one was scared All of a sudden he was gone He laid in the shed all alone He was our rooster He was ok He was alright Because he never crew just for fun in the night He slept still like the hen Unless a noise did not switch him on before dawn All of a sudden he was gone He laid in the shed all alone He should be a hen but it turned out he wasn't He was our rooster for one year All of a sudden he was gone He laid in the shed all alone (instrumental part) All of a sudden he was gone He laid in the shed all alone He was our rooster He was ok He watched out for food A tidbit for him we always could find He stepped through the mud Just to pick up something he found on the ground All of a sudden he was gone He laid in the shed all alone He should be a hen but it turned out he wasn't He was our rooster for one year All of a sudden he was gone He laid in the shed all alone All of a sudden he was gone He laid in the shed all alone
