lyrics

the dogs are in the kitchen – licking up the chicken
you’re wife is in a mood – the moon has got her itching
and the sun is always shining - your flag is up and flying
the sun it keeps on shining and the rain don’t seem to mind

the pigs are in the pen - being pigs again
they’re rolling round the dirt – flirting with the hens
and the sun is always shining – the moon is high from rising
the sun it keeps on shining and the rain don’t seem to mind

the boys are in the bars – driving fast their cars
driving in the nails - a little bit too far
but the sun it’s always shining – the boys are drunk and smiling
the sun it keeps on shining and the rain don’t seem to mind

the cocks play centre stage they’ve made it in the shade
the hens peck in house to cook and clean his cage
and the sun is always shining the cage is clean and shiny
the sun it keeps on shining and the rain don’t seem to mind

the cocks are in their cage they’ve made it in the shade
the hens are in the house to slave the better part of day
and the sun is sometimes sighing – the moon so tired but(still) trying
the sun it keeps on shining and the rain don’t/does seem to mind

the hens are in the house boasting up their roast
waiting on the men to do their better part of work/host
but the sun is always shining the sky is blue sunshine buying time
the sun it keeps on shining and the rain don’t seem to mind
