Thread Name: Songs about chickens
Subject: RE: Songs about chickens
There was a belter 12-bar from Stackridge, circa 1972, Keep on Cluckin' Can't remember all the words but some of them are:
Way down on old Sam McGurky's spread Things are happenin' in his brand new shed He's sold his wife and seven kids And bought a thousand chickens instead.
chorus It's a super[something], [something][something] Super market, super chicken time Give a booster to your rooster Have a hundred per cent potential diamond mine But you'd better keep on cluckin' Or you'll end up on the factory line!
Six lonely bantems sitting on a wall Along came a farmer and now there's none at all One went to Tesco, one went to [Dell?] The rest are pushing daisies coz they wouldn't sell.
So won't you listen all you L-brained dudes When you open up your barbecues Have the low-down at the ho-down and you ain't got nothin' to lose.
