Everybody has to have a song about chickens

I was workin' in a factory in L.A.
Drivin' through the smog to work each day
I was sick and tired, I was in quite a rut
My lungs felt a little like a cigarette butt

So I felt it was good, I could see no harm
If I saved all my money for a chicken farm
Well I'd heard that chickens were easy to raise
And they laid eggs better when the music plays

So I sang to my chickens and it wasn't too long
Before I had me an egg layin' song

One dozen two dozen three dozen four
Come on chicks and lay me some more
I wanna see some large grade double A eggs
plop down between your skinny little legs

(clucking)

The man in the truck is comin' soon
I gotta have eggs by twelve o'clock noon
So come on girls and give me your best
Just plop em right down in your cozy little nest

(clucking)

Lay an egg you scrawny little chicken
Or I'll give you to the Colonel, you'll be finger-lickin'...
Good...that's better...keep em comin' honey...yeah
