Not literally about chickens--more an extended metaphor:


THAT CHICK'S TOO YOUNG TO FRY
As sung by Louis Jordan and His Tympani Five, 1946.

Say, boy, don't you harm that bird; don't you dare to try.
Start releasin' that chicken or you'll get a lickin'; that chick's too young to fry.

Hey, boy, better take my word; here's the reason why:
Gotta feed her steady till she gets ready; that chick's too young to fry.

[§] Take her back in the barnyard, then let her go; just turn her loose,
Way out there in the barnyard, where she'll grow up for better use.

Hey, boy, there will come a time, someday by and by,
She'll be ready for fryin', so stop your cryin'; that chick's too young to fry.

[Repeat from §.]

Get away; stay away; come back another day; that chick's too young to fry.
