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."
