Jeff Warner and Jeff Davis recorded that song on their album, Two Little Boys, if anyone can find a copy of it. For any chicken song buffs out there, particularly instrumentalists, Bob Webb (of Bath, Maine - who will be at the Mystic Sea Music Festival in June) recorded an album comprised entirely of chicken songs, to commemmorate the centennial of the Rhode Island Red breed of chicken. The album is titled Cluck, Old Hen. Also, Tom Paxton recently recorded a completely new and different (spelling) chicken song on his album, Your Shoes, My Shoes. It's got a very catchy tune, and the lyrics are as follows: The hen said, "Buck buck! You are out of luck If you wanted scrambled eggs upon your plate, Because the eggs hatched chickens and they ran like the dickens. If you want scrambled eggs you'll have to wait." Ch: C H I C K E N If you can't spell chicken then we'll try it once again. C H I C K E N Spells chicken, chicken, chicken every time. The rooster crowed by the side of the road Saying, "Cockadoodle, cockadoodle-doo! I crow so loud 'cause I'm so proud And if you were a rooster so would you." CHORUS The chicks said, "Peep! Peep! We don't wanna sleep 'Cause there's always something funny going on. And we'll all stick together 'til fuzz turns to feather, And we'll all be chickens when we're grown." CHORUS The rooster and the hen and the little chicks then Would not be satisfied Till they tippy-tippy-toed all the way across the road Just to get to the other side.
