I'm puny short and little but I'm loud

I learned to do my singing walking 'long behind a plow

The singing teacher always passed me by

And so I have to sing the only way that I know how

Just rear back open up and let her fly



I'm little but I'm loud

I'm poor but I'm proud

I'm countrified an I don't care who knows it

I'm like a Banty Rooster in a big red rooster crowd

I'm puny short and little but I'm loud

I'm puny short and little but I'm loud
