- WHO BROKE THE LOCK -
The Wheelhouse Rousters interpretation of, Who Broke The Lock, is an fun experimental take on the traditional tune. With quirky lyrics and an old-time outro, the track lends itself to a funky chicken hoedown ‘'til the rooster crows at dawn. The song appears on the Rouster's 2023 release, The Adventure Never Ends.
Lyrics
The hen and rooster went out west.
Rooster told the hen, "I love you best."
Hen said, "You know thats right
Fly me to the moon most every night.”
Who broke the lock? I don't know.
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door?
I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
My old hen's a good ol' hen.
Hasn't laid an egg since I don't know when.
My ol' hen she cackles and crows
Cockadoodledo I love her so
My ol' rooster's getting old.
Done a lot of things that can't be told.
His toes are curled, he can't hardly scratch.
But the little hens say his eggs'll still hatch.
Who broke the lock? I don't know.
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door?
I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
I was down in the henhouse on my knees.
Thought I heard a chicken sneeze.
It was only my rooster sayin' prayers
Him and the hens were a cookin’ upstairs
Who broke the lock? I don't know.
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door?
I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Who broke the lock? I don't know.
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door?
I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
