When a Man Loves a Chicken

When a man loves a chicken He can't keep his mind on nothin' else He'd stay in the barn for the good thing he's found If he is henpecked, he can't see it She can't do no wrong Rhode Island Red is his best friend He can't put her down When a man wants a chicken Spend his very last dime Buying her fresh corn down at the grain and feed He'll build a nest for her comfort And sleep out in the coop If she said that's the way it's got to be Well, this man loves his chicken She lays him all the eggs she has Tell the farmer there's nothin' going on Believe me, she's cluckin' just 'cause she's mine When a man loves a chicken People think that it is wrong He shouldn't stick his beak in where it don't belong Yes, when a man loves a chicken I know exactly how he feels Hey baby, baby, baby I'm your cock-a-doodle-doo When a man loves his chicken I know exactly how he feels He'll shack up in the henhouse With the good thing he's found When a man loves a chicken People think that he's insane But all he can do is wing it for the one he loves Yes, this man loves a chicken Oh, I know it can't do me no harm
