Chicken! Nice fried chicken! Barbecued chicken! Won't you send it down the line. Say! Everyone's talking 'bout chicken; Chicken's a popular bird; Anywhere you go, you're bound to find, A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird. Some folks call it a fowl, That's the story I heard, But let 'em call it this and let 'em call it that, A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird. You can boil it, roast it, broil it, Cook it in a pan or a pot, Eat it with potatoes, rice or tomatoes, But chicken's still what you got, boy! It was a dish for old Caesar, Also King Henry the Third, But Columbus was smart, said "You can't fool me, A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird."
