Subject: RE: Songs about chickens
Surely any compilation of chicken songs must include the iconic introductory number for Super Chicken's animated adventures:

SUPER CHICKEN THEME SONG

When you find yourself in danger,
When you're threatened by a stranger,
When it looks like you will take a lickin', (buk-buk-buk-buk)
There is someone waiting who
Will hurry up and rescue you,
Just squaw-awk for Super Chicken! (buk-ack!)

Fred, if you're afraid you'll have to overlook it,
Besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it! (buk-ack!)

He will drink his super sauce
And throw the bad guys for a loss
And he will bring them in alive and kickin' (buk-buk-buk-buk)
There is one thing you should learn
When there is no one else to turn to
Squaw-awk for Super Chicken! (buk-buk-buk-buk)

Squaw-awk for Super Chicken! (buk-ack!)


I don't have formal credits to hand, but one assumes that Jay Ward probably wrote these lyrics, together with those for George of the Jungle and Tom Slick (Tom and Super Chicken were the backup segments on George's TV series back in the day).
