The World Of Chicken

Oh how I love them chickens Why, they make the world go ‘round I’ve always enjoyed being near The cluck cluck chicken sound They’re industrious little creatures Constantly busy scratchin’ the ground Ah yes, and then once again you hear That favorite clucking sound You’ll never find a better friend Than a chicken on the loose He’s very happy to visit with you Much more so than the silly goose Did you ever sit in the chicken house And just watch their busy day? I have and although it’s stinky They live in an interesting way Out in the woods of a friend’s house When I was just a little girl back when Chickens roamed and laid their eggs It was like Easter following those hens We’d raise these furry creatures too Starting from tiny chicks in a box But once they went into the hen house You had to watch for a cunning fox Hate to mention the day that came along When ma would lop off a few heads YIKES it was an upsetting time for me I’d rather have stayed right in my bed But crispy home-fried chicken Once the feather’s we’d finished pickin’ Would make us forget all the rest The best part of The World of Chicken!
