Today our dear friend
|
Chicken Soup
|
This very ordinary day
|
Boiled up a pot of
|
Chicken soup
|
And swallowed it away
|
A-lack! A-day!
|
O-Woe! Oy-Vey!
|
He swallowed it away!
|
Now listen to what I'm gonna say
|
A little bone, a bitty thing
|
No bigger than my pinky-
|
He swallowed hot
|
From out that pot
|
In quicker than a winky
|
He gulped that soup
|
Let out a whoop!
|
And fell down croaking
|
On the stoop
|
And he Choked!
|
And he SAGGED!
|
And he SMOTHERED!
|
And he GAGGED!
|
And he let out a SCREAM!
|
And he let out a MOAN!
|
Then he cried
|
'Cause he died
|
From choking on a bone
|
On such an ordinary day
|
Like today
|
A-lack! A-day!
|
O-Woe! Oy-Vey!
|
On an ordinary day
|
Chicken soup passed away!
