This song can be sung as a round.
Le coq est mort, le coq est mort
Le coq est mort, le coq est mort
Il ne dira plus co-co-di, co-co-da
Il ne dira plus co-co-di, co-co-da
Coco cocodi cocodi, coda.
The rooster's dead, the rooster's dead,
The rooster's dead, the rooster's dead.
He'll no longer say cocodi, cocoda,
He'll no longer say cocodi, cocoda,
Coco cocodi cocodi, coda.

Comments
Monique said, "When I was a teenager, we would sing an alternate, slangy version..."
Le coq est mort, le coq est mort,
Il a crevé, on l'a bouffé,
Il ne dira plus cocodi, cocoda,
Il ne dira plus co-co-di, co-co-da
Coco cocodi cocodi, coda.
A Singable English Translation
The rooster's dead, the rooster's dead,
He croaked and we gobbled him up,
He'll no longer say cocodi, cocoda
He'll no longer say cocodi, cocoda
Coco cocodi cocodi, coda.
