Calloway Cab - A Chicken Ain't Nothin' But A Bird - Текст песни

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." 

You can boil it, roast it, broil it, 
Cook it in a pan or a pot, 
Eat it with potatoes, rice or tomatoes, 
A 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."
