Chicken!
|
Nice fried chicken!
|
Barbecued chicken!
|
Won't you send it down the line.
|
|
Say!
|
Everyone's talking 'bout chicken;
|
Chicken's a popular bird;
|
Anywhere you go, you're bound to find,
|
A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird.
|
|
Some folks call it a fowl,
|
That's the story I heard,
|
But let 'em call it this and let 'em call it that,
|
A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird.
|
|
You can boil it, roast it, broil it,
|
Cook it in a pan or a pot,
|
Eat it with potatoes, rice or tomatoes,
|
But chicken's still what you got, boy!
|
|
It was a dish for old Caesar,
|
Also King Henry the Third,
|
But Columbus was smart, said "You can't fool me,
|
A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird."
