What should i compare thee to?
Tulip standing proud and bright
What should i compare thee to?
A little flicker where you've been
Or a lighthouse where you are
But wrong is the comparison
That sees love as a light
That hides behind the glow of day
You're just a little red rooster
She's an old speckled hen
You've fallen in love once before
And she'll be once, twice,
What should i compare thee to?
That captures sun in tiny frame
And throws it round the house
What should i compare thee to?
Or the hand that points you home
But wrong is the comparison
That sees love as a light
That hides behind the glow of day
You're just a little red rooster
She's an old speckled hen
You've fallen in love once before
And she'll be once, twice,
So listen up you middle aged
If they look young to you my friend
You sure look old to them
Take this from the rooster
Who found his speckled hen
It's never down to who you love
