Subject: Lyr Add: THE LEGEND OF CHICKEN STU
I wrote words to this tune similar to the above;

THE LEGEND OF CHICKEN STU

The hens were getting restless on a dark and stormy night.
They flapped their wings and clucked out loud in screaming fits of fright
When all at once a stranger came with a forty-ounce bottle of brew,
A rooster cried "you'd better run from the man called Chicken Stu."

CHORUS: Yippee yi ay, yippee yi oh, the legend of Chicken Stu!

A farmer man came calling to the army camp next day.
He said his chickens were missing, or so the man did say.
"I had a big red pullet all fine and fat and new.
She was rustled with the rest of them, by the man called Chicken Stu! CHORUS

The major he was cranky for he didn't get his nap.
He said go find this miscreant and bring his carcass back!
The army regulations are might clear and true,
There'll be no chicken thievery, by the man called Chicken Stu! CHORUS

They caught him in a hen house with a pullet in each hand,
Now Chicken Stu is resting in that Dry Tortugas land.
But on a dark and stormy night the hens they will all brood,
They never can forget the man entitled Chicken Stu! CHORUS AND CHICKEN NOISES.
