Lyrics
COURUS:
YOU GOT ME RUNNING AROUND LIKE A CHICKEN WITH MY HEAD CUT OFF
AIN'T GOT NO BRAIN JUST DOIN' MY THANG I'M THE COCK OF THE WALK
GONNA SPREAD MY WINGS, I'LL BE DONE FLOWN THIS COOP
NO THERE WON'T BE NOTHIN' IN THE CHICKEN PEN BUT A VACANT ROOST
THE WAY YOU WALK THAT WALK, THE WAY YOU TALK THAT TALK
WHILE I JUST RUN AROUND LIKE A CHICKEN WITH MY HEAD CUT OFF
VERSE:
I REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE MY FRIEND ABOVE YOU WAS NO OTHER
YOU TURNED INTO A MOTHER HEN MADE ME SAY OH BROTHER
WE HATCHED SOME EGGS THAT GREW SOME LEGS AND THEN WE BUILT OUR NEST
MY JOB WAS TO WAKE THE FOLKS FROM THEIR BLISSFUL DREAMS
WHILE I WAS COCK-AL-DOODLE-DOIN' YOU WERE FAST ASLEEP
REPEAT COURUS:
VERSE:
MIGHT AS WELL CALL COLONAL SANDERS FROM THE FIRE TO THE FRYIN' PAN
CROSS THE ROAD TO THE OTHER SIDE I FEEL LIKE A CHICKEN-MAN
WELL I'M TOO DANG CHICKEN TO START A FIGHT FOR FEAR OF GETTIN' FLOGGED
CHICKEN GEORGE WAS A SLAVE ON ROOT, MARC'S DADDY'S NAME IS BOB
I'VE BEEN GETTIN' PLUCKED SINCE THE DAY WE MET RIGHT DOWN TO THE CHICKEN SKIN
I HEARD'EM SAY DEAD CHICKEN WALKIN' AS THEY LED ME FROM THE PIN
SPOKEN: DEAD CHICKEN WALKIN
REPEAT COURUS:
