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!
