[Verse 1]
Ooh, well
Market morning and I'm up hustling for chicken
I'm bound for town, I mean hurry [?] I do my pickin'
I hear you say, "No good farmer around here, he pretty chicken"
And I'm from the city
[Verse 2]
Tell me mister how long that one there been scratchin'?
Now tell me, does she lay, does she? Is she bold, is she a beauty
I know that, China eggs whether poached or fried won't sustain me
Or my family
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I want that big fat brown one, I don't want that one it's too skinny
She's far too scrawny
[Verse 4]
Tell me, missus, how long's that one there been scratchin'
Now tell me, does she lay, does she? Is she old, is she a beauty?
I know that, China eggs whether poached or fried don't sustain me
Now I'm not that silly
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
I want that big fat brown one, I don't want that one it's too skinny
She's far too scrawny
[Outro]
Do you know Colonel Sanders, well, nor do I
Don't want no cock-a-loop, I'm gonna rule the roost
I'm not fresh at this mornin', I know my friend
Don't want no battery heads
'Cause I'm a free range man
I'm gonna maw the haggles
'Til I cut you down
Now tell me, do they lay, I don't care
White or brown, you should not
Count your chickens before they'll kill-
You wanna pretty penny
For that old cherry
Don't try to short-change me
I've been stung before
