Hoener Met Die Rooi Skoene (Vir Die Fliek)

Daar's 'n plattelandse dorpie, in die hemelmooi Karoo
Daar in Klaarstroom, woon daar sout op hierdie aarde
En soos almal in die heelal, het hulle dag tot dag bestaan
Hier's ons veilig, hier's ons bly, en hier vergaan
'N Klein-dorpie sindroom word 'n klein-dorpie se droom
Almal droom van liefde en van vrede
Vrede hier op aarde sê die Dominee gereeld
Maar wie's daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi skoene aan?
En almal kom van ver af, om die ding te bekyk
Op almal se lippe is dieselfde
Vraag, wat het geword van daai man se lyf?
Wie is hy?...Hoe lyk hy?...Is hy vas of is hy vry?
Hoe lyk daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi skoene aan?
Daar's 'n kinkel in die kabel, daar's 'n neus in 'n man se slaai
Al die mure hier het ore, wat jy insit sal jy maai
Wat lê agter die berge, is daar spoke in die straat?
Maar wie's daai hoener met die rooi skoene aan?
Onnie, die ontvangsdame, praat soos 'n pappegaai
Ja, geen wonder daar's 'n voël ook op kantoor
Napoleon hou alles dop, oor die baas kan soen, en 'n moord kan flop
Maar wie's daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi skoene aan?
En almal kom van ver af, om die ding te bekyk
Op almal se lippe is dieselfde
Vraag, wat het geword van daai man se lyf?
Wie is hy?...Hoe lyk hy?...Is hy vas of is hy vry?
Hoe lyk daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi skoene aan?
Kaptein Hendrik Greyling, Cecilia de Waal
Roxy Roos is besig, was dit 'n spook of was sy kaal?
Miskien het Conradie, konstabel bietjie mens
Maar wie's daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi skoene aan?
En almal kom van ver af, om die ding te bekyk
Op almal se lippe is dieselfde
Vraag, wat het geword van daai man se lyf?
Wie is hy?...Hoe lyk hy?...Is hy vas of is hy vry?
Hoe lyk daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi skoene aan?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi?
Wie's daai hoener met die rooi skoene aan?

Rooster with the Red Shoes (For the Movie)

There is a rural village, in the heavenly beautiful Karoo
There in Klaarstroom, salt lives on this earth
And like everyone in the universe, they existed from day to day
Here we are safe, here we are happy, and here we perish
A small-town syndrome becomes a small-town dream
Everyone dreams of love and peace
Peace on earth, the pastor says regularly
But who's that chicken with the red?
Who's that chicken with the red?
Who's that chicken with the red shoes on?
And everyone comes from far away, to see the thing
On everyone's lips is the same
Question, what happened to that man's body?
Who is he?...What does he look like?...Is he in jail or is he free?
What does that chicken with the red look like?
Who's that chicken with the red?
Who's that chicken with the red shoes on?
There's a kink in the cable, there's a nose in a man's salad
All the walls here have ears, what you put in you will reap
What lies behind the mountains, are there ghosts in the street?
But who's that chicken with the red shoes on?
Onnie, the receptionist, talks like a parrot
Yes, no wonder there's a bird in the office too
Napoleon keeps an eye on everything, over the boss can kiss ass, and a murder can flop
But who's that chicken with the red?
Who's that chicken with the red?
Who's that chicken with the red shoes on?
And everyone comes from far away, to see the thing
On everyone's lips is the same
Question, what happened to that man's body?
Who is he?...What does he look like?...Is he in jail or is he free?
What does that chicken with the red look like?
Who's that chicken with the red?
Who's that chicken with the red shoes on?
Captain Hendrik Greyling, Cecilia de Waal
Roxy Roos is busy, was it a ghost or was she bald?
Maybe Conradie, constable a little bit of a human
But who's that chicken with the red?
Who's that chicken with the red?
Who's that chicken with the red shoes on?
And everyone comes from far away, to see the thing
On everyone's lips is the same
Question, what happened to that man's body?
Who is he?...What does he look like?...Is he in jail or is he free?
What does that chicken with the red look like?
Who's that chicken with the red?
Who's that chicken with the red shoes on?
Who's that chicken with the red?
Who's that chicken with the red?
Who's that chicken with the red shoes on?
