“Shanghai Rooster (Shanghai Chicken)”

Description

"Shanghai chicken an' he grow so tall, Hooday! Hooday! Take dat egg a month to fall, Hooday! Hooday!"

Notes

Roud includes several items under this number that I'm not convinced are related, but it does appear that this is a rather disjointed song. - RBW
