[Verse 1]
Well I like my chicken fryin' size hangin’ around my pen
Young and tender not so wise like some old stewing hen
Cos she's done seen a lot of every rooster in the lot
So I like my chicken fryin' size when I get my skillet hot
[Verse 2]
Well I like my chicken fryin' size chicken just can't be beat
Nothing in the world can satisfy like good old chicken meat
Now the south has brought to fame that frying chicken's name
But any little chicken fryin' size is pretty well near the same
[Verse 3]
So I like my chicken fryin' size and I bet that you’ll agree
A pretty little chicken a-walkin’ by sure looks heavenly
From the day that I was born till Gabriel blows his horn
If I don't like chicken fryin' size brother roasting ears ain't corn
[Verse 4]
Well I like my chicken fryin' size just when they’re good and grown
I know it would be oh so nice to have a chicken of my own
I resist as long I can stealin’ from another man
But I must have chicken fryin' size when I put ‘em in the fryin’ pan
[Verse 1]
Well I like my chicken fryin' size hangin’ around my pen
Young and tender and not so wise like some old stewin’ hen
Cos she's done seen a lot of every rooster in the lot
So I want my chicken fryin' size when I get my skillet hot
