Swing A Chicken 3 Times Over Your Head

On my fortieth birthday
I woke up in Poland
(Accidentally)
I looked around and thought, “I better keep on rollin’,”
So we rolled right the fuck on outta Poland
Alright

Free Christiania
That’s where my birthday ended
My friends said “Where were you?
“We couldn’t find you
“Why’re you bleeding?”
So I said
As I bled

I’ve been swinging a chicken
I’ve been swinging a chicken
I’ve been swinging a chicken
Three times
Over my head

I hear that Superman’s a Jew
(Or at least an immigrant.)
And Nosferatu, too
But what do they do
When they screw
Up so bad
It’s like a kryptonite magnet
That is dragging them to their death bed?
What do they do instead?
They say
If you need me…

I’ll be swinging a chicken
I’ll be swinging a chicken
I’ve been swinging a chicken
Three times over my head

If you do enough living
You’ll be faced with a decision
Between committing a sin
And committing a different sin
Then
You’ll want a shot at redemption
You want a shot at redemption?
Don’t use a rubber chicken
Because then the sin
Just bounces back in

Now you take it by each wing
And you sing
You sing:
“Won’t you help me swing
“This frightened chicken
“It’s all I ever had.”

Swing that chicken one time!
Swing that chicken two times!
Swing that chicken three times!
Alright!

I’ve been swinging a chicken
I’ve been swinging a chicken
I’ve been swinging a chicken
Three times over my head
