  • Sue said she wants me for her man
    Jenny, she loves me for say she can
    Well, Gerry only does it just for fun
    But I think you're gonna be the one

    I'm cock-a-hoop (cook-a-hoop)
    I'm cock-a-hoop (cock-a-hoop)
    And I feel alright (alright, alright)
    I feel alright (alright, alright)

    I'm feeling good, so I sing a little song (yeah-yeah, yeah)
    All the pretty women come running along (yeah-yeah, yeah)
    I'm feeling fine, so I sing it again (yeah-yeah, yeah)
    I'm an old rooster and I'm looking for a hen (yeah-yeah, yeah)

    I'm cock-a-hoop (cook-a-hoop)
    I'm cock-a-hoop (cock-a-hoop)
    And I feel alright (alright, alright)
    Yeah, look out now! (alright, alright)

    I'm cock-a-hoop (cook-a-hoop)
    I'm cock-a-hoop (cock-a-hoop)
    And I feel alright (alright, alright)
    I feel alright (alright, alright)

    Look out, look out, it's in your town (yeah-yeah, yeah)
    It's called Manfred Mann, and it runs around (yeah-yeah, yeah)
    Come on, all you chicks and grown-up hens (yeah-yeah, yeah)
    It's one Manfred Mann, but it's five men (one, two, three, four, five)

    I'm cock-a-hoop (cook-a-hoop)
    I'm cock-a-hoop (cock-a-hoop)
    And I feel alright (alright, alright)
    I feel alright (alright, alright)
    I'm feeling good (alright, alright)
    Ooh, I'm cock-a-hoop, now (alright, alright) Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
