Banjo And Ruby

There was once a rooster named ruby red
And the wood heap was Ruby's bed
Ruby was arrogant and did not listen,
She loved to make her wings glisten.

One day the dog called Banjo told ruby what to do
And she just sat there, and chew and chew and chew
And then Banjo got really mad with ruby
And Banjo got incredibly droopy.

Then that night ruby went missing
And Banjo was hissing
Banjo looked for her night and day
And finally he found her at bay.

Ruby was asleep for ages and ages
Finally she woke up and they were on the same pages
They went back to the barn and they had an agreement
For ruby to sleep in banjos bed
