Lyrics

Chicken in the bedroom Chicken on the stairs
Chicken under foot Chicken in my hair
Chicken with opinions about what I should do
Chicken after midnight Chicken afternoon
Chicken while I’m dancing all around this house
Chicken while I’m sleeping quiet as a mouse
Chicken on thanksgiving Chicken Christmas too
Chicken on my birthday Chicken in my soup
Chicken causing trouble all around the place
Chicken gone missing stuck in the crawl space
Chicken on the toilet or while I wash my hair
Chicken when I’m lonely checked when I’m scared
Chicken in a shoebox with its walls about to burst
I was saving some salami but chicken got there first
There’s chicken in the laundry freshly washed and warm
Under cover chicken hiding from the storm
Peek in my closet you’ll find chicken on the shelf
And my house is clearly haunted by a host of chicken smells
Chicken is a villain Chicken ain’t no saint
Chicken is a picking and stepping in wet paint
There’s paw prints on the cupboard that tow tone shit looks great
There’s yellow in the red and I’m red in the face
Chicken is a fucker I shoulda brought a crate
Chicken is my best friend helps with everything
Whatever chicken is it acts just like a dog
Howling at the door begging for a walk
Chicken hunting hard, noise upon the ground
Drooling begging playing fetch getting picked up from the pound
But chicken ain’t no bitch sure don’t come when called
Sometimes known as chicken sometimes chicken dog
Chicken loves chicken ignores all the mirrors
Chicken could be cooler if chicken brought me beers
Chicken don’t know numbers but chicken walks me home
Chicken is as chicken does and chicken has no phone
Chicken over yonder climbing up a pole
Who’s to say the reason chicken crossed the road
Chicken’s getting bolder running loose out in the street
My neighbors pink begonias torn up by chicken feet
Chicken at the window messing with the dogs
Chicken in the sandbox dropping Lincoln Logs
Chicken struts majestic confident and fat
Chicken is my soulmate Chicken is my cat
