Thanksgiving day in Alabama A swamper puts some food on the plate And when I asked him about the mystery meat He just grinned and said somebody won't see their shadow today Taste like chicken Taste just like chicken Way down in south Louisiana They got that Mardi Gras And everybody knows about the music And that spicy food they cook it if it swims flies or crawls Taste like chicken Taste just like chicken If you're ever on a round-up down in Texas You better watch your step Them cowboys got a thang they call Diamondback stew And they thrown it in the pot even the rattler on the tail Taste like chicken Taste just like chicken Yeah uhhh I might be mistaken but what time is it Taste just like chicken Taste just like chicken
