Subject: RE: chicken songs revisited
How about this from the '20s:

Chick Chick Chick Chick Chicken

Good old Farmer Haysack is the cleverest of men
He cuts a rasher off a pig and then shouts out to a hen

Chick chick chick chick chicken
Lay a little egg for me
Chick chick chick chick chicken
I want one for my tea
I haven't had an egg since Easter
And now it's half-past three
So chick chick chick chick chicken
Lay a little egg for me

Now Rip van Winkle woke up after twenty years or more
He found a bird's nest in his beard and shouted out O Lord!!

Chick chick chick chick chicken
Lay a little egg for me
Chick chick chick chick chicken
I want one for my tea
I haven't had an egg since Easter
And now it's half-past three
So chick chick chick chick chicken
Lay a little egg for me
