Listen to the story that the minstrel has to tell
Cockadoodle do on his way to hell
He's a poor boy from the country
And lives on rotten grain
From winter through the heat of June
Until the monsoon rain
He's been watching all the TV ads
He throws away his food
This country air is killing me
This life ain't no good
Should I be me should I be you
Cockadoodle do
Listen to the story of a poor boy ...
He's walking on the city streets
Something isn't right
Glass is like a TV screen
He wants to be inside
Should I be me
Should I be you
Should I be me
Don't wanna be me
But he's a country bumpkin
He gotta make some changes first
But he don't know the cost it takes
And that better may be worse
Give me a spray of perfume
Give me a brand new shine
I'm ready to crossover
Take what is mine
So here we are at journey's end
The final twist of fate
Sprayed and dressed and at his best
..upon a silver plate
Now I'm me...
