I had a chicken
I had a chicken (bis)
No eggs would she lay (bis)
I had a chicken (bis)
No eggs would she lay (bis)
CHORUS
And I said, Honey
this isn’t funny
We’re losing money
No eggs would she lay (bis)
One day a rooster (bis)
Crept into our yard (bis)
And caught that chicken (bis)
Right off her guard (bis)
She’s laying eggs now
Just like she used to
Ever since that rooster
Crept into our yard
She’s laying eggs now
Just like she used to
Ever since that rooster
Crept into our yard (bis)
CHORUS
One day a dog (bis)
Crept into our yard, woof (bis)
And caught that chicken (bis)
Right off her guard (bis)
She’s laying pooched eggs
Just like she used to
Ever since that dog
Crept into our yard
She’s laying pooched eggs
Just like she used to
Ever since that dog
Crept into our yard (bis)
CHORUS
One day a gum tree (bis)
Grew into our yard (bis)
And caught that chicken (bis)
Right off her guard (bis)
She’s laying chicklets
Just like she used to
Ever since that gum tree
Crept into our yard
She’s laying chicklets
Just like she used to
Ever since that gum tree
Crept into our yard (bis)
CHORUS
One day a comedian (bis)
Crept into our yard (bis)
And caught the chicken (bis)
Right off her guard (bis)
She’s telling yolks now
Just like she used to
Ever since that comedian
Crept into our yard
She’s telling yolks now
Just like she used to
Ever since that comedian
Crept into our yard (bis)
CHORUS
