baby wants his chicken fried

i'll make it just the way he likes

cause my baby's alright

he's alright



baby likes to take a nap

in the middle of the afternoon

well i'll tuck him in on any day

cause my baby's o.k.

he's o.k.



and i say, ooh honey

you're the one i really love

and when i'm fast asleep

you're the one i dream of



baby tells me when i'm bad

he knows how to keep me in line

oh my baby's fine

he's fine



sometimes ya know he plays the clown

to keep the blues from

pullin me down

when i need him

he's always around

always around



and i say, ooh honey

you're the one i really love

and when i'm fast asleep

you're the one i dream of



so if baby wants his chicken fried

i'll make it just the way he likes

cause my baby's alright

he's alright
