Raise hoodie, perhaps, for early morning call (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cock crow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for early morning call' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'raise hoodie' is the wordplay.
'raise' becomes 'cock' (eg a dog can cock his leg).
'hoodie' becomes 'crow' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'cock'+'crow'='COCK-CROW'

'perhaps' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cock crow that I've seen before include "as soon as one can see" , "dawn light" .)
