Chicken on a Bike

Cycling Long Island in Suffolk County,
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
Pair of gorillas made a monkey of me,
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
Great big chicken egging them on,
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
When I looked up they'd legged it and gone.
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!

Chicken on a bike on a Monday morning,
Oh what a terrible sight to see;
Lying in the gutter, dusting my hat,
Pickin' at a lickin' from a chicken on a bike!
Hi yo! Chicken on a bike!
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
Hi yo! Chicken on a bike!
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!


I woke up, and found I wasn't dead,
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
Great big bruise on top of my head.
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!!
Thought I'd been hit by a killer driller,
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
Only the victim of an urban guerilla.
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!

Chicken on a bike on a Monday morning,
Oh what a terrible sight to see;

Hi yo! Chicken on a bike!
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!


Lost my bike to a threesome of sorts,
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
The county police took my reports ,
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
Copper thinks I'm pulling his leg,
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
Asked me "Who came first; chicken or the egg?"
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!

They issued an APB based on what I had said,
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
They arrested King Kong and a Rhode Island Red.
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
Ain't gonna ride a bike any more,
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
Gonna sell chicken legs and monkey nuts on the sea shore!
Hey yo! Chicken on a bike!
