Nambucca Heads Rooster

I wrote this many years ago and I made a few changes to it. It may have been sent to the your town your song competition. The title is the same. I've had it critiqued and sent to the Australian Songwriters Association in 2024. I can perform this on a guitar and I have a progression.


NAMBUCCA HEADS ROOSTER


I know a Rooster in Nambucca Heads

That would often go cock a doodle doo

Nick named Chook, he'll make ya look

Dressed in red white and blue

King of Fowls in the pen

That’s at Coronation Park

Where hens heckle and cheer along

For a laugh and squawk


He flapped around the oval

During a game of football

The Nambucca Heads Rooster

Is the Greatest Mascot of all!


Some love sponsors, some loathe streakers

Others like to see a blew

I'd rather see this rooster at dummy half

Singing cock a doodle doo

One time he did something on the field

The ref disgusted! Had a fit

The local mob seen things different

When a visiting hooker’s face fell in it


He flapped around the oval

During a game of football

The Nambucca Heads Rooster

Is the Greatest Mascot of all!


A special moment struck the day

When the cheeky rooster flew

On the field he scored a try

And everyone went cock a doodle do

The ref had to make a quick decision

And pulled out his rule book

With benefit of the doubt awarded the try

The visitors called the ref a crook


He flapped around the oval

During a game of football

The Nambucca Heads Rooster

Is the Greatest Mascot of all!
