“Cock-a-doodle-doo” is a popular nursery rhyme that is often associated with the image of a rooster crowing. The rhyme is believed to have originated in England, and it has been sung by children for many generations.
Cock-a-doodle-doo has simple yet memorable lyrics and fun hand motions that have made it a popular favorite among children and adults alike. That has also helped the song stand the test of time since the full version was first recorded in the 1765 edition of Mother Goose’s Melody.
Sometimes the nursery rhyme is accompanied by hand motions, with children flapping their arms like wings and then placing a hand on their head to represent the lost shoe and fiddlestick. This adds an interactive element to the rhyme and makes it a fun and engaging activity for kids.
Lyrics for Cock-a-doodle-doo
Cock a doodle doo!
What is my dame to do?
Till master’s found his fiddling stick,
She’ll dance without her shoe.
Cock a doodle doo!
My dame has found her shoe,
And master’s found his fiddling stick,
Sing cock a doodle do!
Cock a doodle doo!
My dame will dance with you,
While master fiddles his fiddling stick,
And knows not what to do
