Thread Name: Songs about chickens
Subject: RE: Songs about chickens
There was a belter 12-bar from Stackridge, circa 1972, Keep on Cluckin' Can't remember all the words but some of them are:

Way down on old Sam McGurky's spread
Things are happenin' in his brand new shed
He's sold his wife and seven kids
And bought a thousand chickens instead.

chorus
It's a super[something], [something][something]
Super market, super chicken time
Give a booster to your rooster
Have a hundred per cent potential diamond mine
But you'd better keep on cluckin'
Or you'll end up on the factory line!

Six lonely bantems sitting on a wall
Along came a farmer and now there's none at all
One went to Tesco, one went to [Dell?]
The rest are pushing daisies coz they wouldn't sell.

So won't you listen all you L-brained dudes
When you open up your barbecues
Have the low-down at the ho-down
and you ain't got nothin' to lose.

chorus to fade ... plus much clucking

Clucking good song.
