My transcription from the recording at the Internet Archive:


CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
Words and music by Jack Hoffman & Bert Pellish.
As recorded by Happy Johnson and his International Jive Five, ©1947.

[SPOKEN:] Although you may beg,
You've laid your last egg,
'Cause tonight you belong to me.

[SUNG:] Here, chicky, chicky, chicky! Here, chicky, chicky, chicky!
Won't you try some corn today?
Nice chicky, chicky, chicky! Nice chicky, chicky!
We're groomin' you for consommé.

Pick the feathers one by one, boy.
Let me know when you are done, boy.
A feathered friend from a chicken coop
Makes delicious chicken noodle soup.

Do you dig me, what I said, boy?
What a fine dish you'll be fed, boy!
A feathered friend from a chicken coop
Makes delicious chicken noodle soup.

Now, you stir the mixture with precision.
Let the fire warm the pot.
Man! You better get ready for your nutrition,
'Cause chicken soup and noodles always hit the spot.

Need I mention what to do, boy?
Have another plate or two, boy
A feathered friend from a chicken coop
Makes delicious chicken noodle soup.

[SPOKEN:] Oh, shucks, man! You let that bird get away!
Now we can't make no chicken noodle soup!
