That Chick’s Too Young To Fry

[Verse 1]
Say, "Boy, don't you harm that bird
Don't you dare to try
Start releasing that chicken
Or you'll get a licking
That chick's too young to fry"
Say, "Boy, better take my word"
Here's the reason why
You gotta feed her up steady
Till she gets ready
That chick's too young to fry"

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Take her back to the barnyard
Let her go, just turn her loose
Way out there in the barnyard
Well, she'll grow up for better use

[Verse 2]
Say "Boy, there will come a time
One day by and by
She'll be ready for frying
So stop your crying
That chick's too young to fry"

[Chorus]
Take her back to the barnyard
Let her go and turn her loose
Way out there in the barnyard
Well, she'll grow up for better use

[Verse 3]
Say, "Boy, there will come a time
One day by and by
She'll be ready for frying
So stop your crying
That chick's too young to fry"

[Chorus]
Stay away, stay away
Come back another day
That chick's too young to fry

[Outro]
Get your hands off, that chick's too young to fry
