[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
He said up, up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up, up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up, up, up, up and away
[Verse 4]
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 gonna steal that chicken from you
[Verse 5]
Well the hawk start flying like a P8 single jet
Well the hawk start flying like a P8 single jet, mmm
He said cool down chicken, the eagle ain't got us yet
[Verse 6]
He said up, up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up, up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up, up, up, up and away
[Verse 7]
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 gonna be there soon
[Verse 8]
He said up, up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up, up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up, up, up, up and away
