My most humble contribution. please not where you see () the contents are not to be included in the song lyric. I haven't really written the melody. but think of traditional English folk music performed with traditional Chinese instruments. Or Vice versa.Food for Thought (Chickens and the Creative Process) by Ed I. Son copyright 2001 Rob Dale
Mrs. Watt put Violet (8) in the pot
Steam set the chicken to a-squawkin'
Said Mister Watt to Mrs. Watt
Baby! Now! you're talkin'
I really think this thing you got
Will sound throughout the nation
A whistle for my engine (this half of the line sung really fast and steam enginey) will fill the slot
This squawk's the inspiration
Said an old Chinese, I ask you please
To send us some protection
The locust disease is on the breeze
So send us a selection
Of Ducks and Chickens (42) and maybe geese
The swarm needs a correction
No word to the Emperor said
No palms to grease. You see.
But Mike (the rooster 22) runnin round without his head
Inspired bureaucracy
So next time in a Queue you tread
or hear a whistle scree!
Remember, chickens once thought dead
Inspire continuously
I am not unhappy with this but I do regret not being able to work in the French Attack Monkeys!
