Chicken Song

From USAFA Folklore

A little known jody from the late 80's, the "Chicken Song" (also known as "I Had a Chicken") takes a long time to finish (entire length of Terrazzo), but thereafter is a guaranteed favorite for Basics, and it concludes with a useful lesson...

[edit] Lyrics

I had a chicken

No eggs she lay

I had a chicken

No eggs she lay

I told my honey

We're losin' money

Because that chicken

No eggs she lay

One day a rooster

Came in our yard

And caught that chicken

Right off her guard

Well we've got eggs now

More than we used to

Because that rooster

Came in our yard

I had a moo-cow

No milk she give

I had a moo-cow

No milk she give

I told my honey

We're losin' money

Because that moo-cow

No milk she give

One day that rooster

Came in our yard

And caught that moo-cow

Right off her guard

Now we've got egg-nog

More than we used to

Because that rooster

Came in our yard

I had a doggie

No pups she give

I had a doggie

No pups she give

I told my honey

We're losin' money

Because that doggie

No pups she give

One day that rooster

Came in our yard

And caught that doggie

Right off her guard

Now we've got bird-dogs

More than we used to

Because that rooster

Came in our yard

I had some Bubble-Yum

It was too hard

I had some Bubble-Yum

It was too hard

I told my honey

My jaw hurts plenty

Because that Bubble-Yum

It's just too hard

One day that rooster

Came in our yard

And caught that Bubble-Yum

Right off its guard

Now we've got Chicklets

More than we used to

Because that rooster

Came in our yard

I knew a Marine

Guantanamo Bay

I knew a Marine

Down Git'mo Bay

He served his country

For love, not money

I knew a Marine

Guantanamo Bay

One day that rooster

Came in his yard

And caught that Marine

Standin' guard

That rooster's dead now

He's dead and buried

So here's the lesson

Never **** with a Marine
