Well, I can't compete with these high-powered hen types, but here's a little number from a range rooster....

The Lavender Broiler

Tune: Lavender Cowboy

It was only a Lavender Broiler
The legs on its carcass were two
I got it on special at Casey's
Marked down because of its hue

Tweedledee, tweedledeedledeedum, deedledum!

And after I had turned up the oven
And after I'd cleaned up the sink
I sat down beside my sweet husband
To share a pre-prandial drink!

Tweedledee, tweedledeedledeedum, deedledum!

But soon a mysterious whimper
Which gradually turned to a squawk
Began interrupting our whispers,
So loud that we scarcely could talk

Tweedledee, tweedledeedledeedum, deedledum!

At first a looked 'round, all  bemused
For the source of the sound we had heard.
But imagine my fright and confusion,
When I realized the source was that bird!!

Tweedledee, tweedledeedle deedum, deedledum!

The hairs on my neck they were rigid!
My heart was a flutter with fright!
And though I have never been frigid,
I quickly lost all appetite!

Tweedledee, tweedledeedle deedum, deedledum!

The chicken was weeping and squawking
That chicken was humming a dirge
And in spite of our amourous talking
We both seem to have lost the urge!

Tweedledee, tweedledeedle deedum, deedledum!

We buried it out in the back yard
And threw the sod over its head
But thanks to that beast from the barnyard
We ain't doin' nothin' in bed!

Tweedledee, tweedledeedle deedum, deedledum!

Oh ladies of passion, take warnin'
And think about what I have done!
Don't buy you no lavender chicken --
He'll talk you right outta your fun!

Tweedledee, tweedledeedle deedum, deedledum!
