Chicken Wired (Mahoney’s Last Stand Version)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Well, it's market morning an' I'm off hustling for chickens
Tried to tell her the early bird do my kickin'
I hear you say, "Don't go farmers 'round here they're pretty chicken"
And I'm from the city

[Verse 2]
Tell me mister how long that's one there been scratchin'?
Does she lay, does she? Is she old is she pretty?
I know that China eggs, well, poached or fried won't sustain me
I'm not that silly

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
I want that big fat brown one, I don't want that one it's too scrawny
A-don't try to short-change me

[Bridge]
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

[Instrumental]
