I used to know this geezer He was Cock of the Walk A silver tongued charmer He could really talk the talk He'd convince you that white was black And then that black was white He kept his eyes upon the prize And kept his goals in sight He was Cock of the Walk Thought he was Mr Major League A big fish in a small pond Saw himself as the Big Cheese He was Cock of the Walk The Head Honcho A real someone in this town Not just your average Joe With his peacocks strut He'd prowl around the town Giving all the girls the glad eye As he'd look that them up and down He thought he was God's gift With his tall, snake hipped figure Full of swagger and bravado His ego couldn't get much bigger He was always getting into trouble So he moved from town to town And while he was young man he never Gave a though to settling down He had a penchant for the ladies And had a girl in every port With them he had a string of children To whom he never gave a penny or a thought He was Cock of the Walk Thought he was Mr Major League A big fish in a small pond Saw himself as the Big Cheese He was Cock of the Walk The Head Honcho A real someone in this town Not just your average Joe But as the years passed him by He found this world got so much colder It's wasn't so easy to charm the girls When he was grey and looked so much older And in the end all that he was left with was A mouth full of rotten old teeth And an eiderdown made of soil and turf That he was buried six feet beneath No longer Cock of the Walk No longer Mr Major League A belly up fish in a small pond He smelt like a rancid old wheel of cheese Not even Cock of the Walk Or the Head Honcho A real no one in this town He was dead as an old dodo
