Once upon a time I was the man of your dreams
Now I’m just some guy who comes around and cooks and cleans
I used to be your rooster but I’m just your Feather Duster now
Used to give me money, even chase me round
But now you do your shopping on the other side of town
I used to be your rooster but I’m just your feather duster now
Wake up in the morning, bring you eggs on a tray
You like ‘em scrambled, poached or fried
Lately something’s missing, I just can’t seem to satisfy
The only way you like them now is unfertilised
Take Me Out For Dinner, at the Hilton or the Ritz
‘cos you say I’m such a special guy
things ain’t quite the same, it seems I just can’t satisfy
The only place you take me now is Kentucky Fried
Once upon a time, had all your lovin’ to myself
now I’m relegated to the cleaning cupboard shelf
I used to be your rooster but I’m just your feather duster now.
