Lyrics

Well, a girly chicken fell in love with a chicken hawk Well, a girly chicken fell in love with a chicken hawk Fell head over heels for that hawk's sweet talk She said, "Take me up hawky, take me up in the sky She said, "Take me up hawky, take me up in the sky I'm just a little bitty chicken and I don't know how to fly He said, "Up, up and away, we goin' fly all day Up, up and away, we goin' fly all day Up, up, up, up and away" He met a bald headed eagle flying up there in the blue He met a bald headed eagle flying up there in the blue Well the eagle told the hawk, I'm goin' steal that chicken from you Well the hawk start flying like a P8 single jet Well the hawk start flying like a P8 single jet He said, "Cool down chicken, the eagle ain't got us yet" He said, "Up, up and away, we goin' fly all day Up, up and away, we goin' fly all day Up, up, up, up and away" Well, you asked him for the sun, did you ask him for the moon? Well, you asked him for the sun, did you ask him for the moon? He said, "Cool down, baby, we're goin' to be there soon" He said, "Up, up and away, we goin' fly all day Up, up and away, we goin' fly all day Up, up, up, up and away"
