Story behind the song
Story about a negative purchasing experience. Guinness Book of Records for "Number of times to say 'Triple Beam' in a song." The title, Chicken Stand, is a reference to the 'Pioneer Chicken Stand' in the Warren Zevon song, also covered by Dwight Yoakum & Flaco Jimenez, Carmelita. Interesting how the audience gets into the song once they have figured out what we're singing.
Lyrics
Well I went down to the Chicken Stand Just to sit around and talk to my man And Generally Try to work out a Deal. Things went well He was out of jail Step Dad Freddy threw the bail And I knew We were gonna be able to score. Sitting around we smoked a few I rolled one and he rolled two But what I was there for Was a whole QP. Chorus: Get out that triple beam A little herbnot Mr. Jim Beam That’s what it takes to get me through the day. I ain’t gonna preach my wit Or talk any of the hippie sh** Just smoke some herb and I’ll be on my way. Well 225 ain’t a bad deal But the 160 is quite a steal As long as it don’t Turn out to be Schwag. You know how it is when you get it home Roll one up and get it going And you start thinking to yourself Am I gonna need two? I hadn’t smoked much when I realized With this damn stuff it was hard to get high And maybe should try to sell this stuff, Today Well, Christmastime is the best time For finding the bud that’s really fine And I ain’t talking bout the $100 eighth Kind of way But anytime y'all Can be a good time For sitting back with your baby in mind Just Tokin' on a number and thinking bout having your way. Chorus: So, Get out that triple beam A little herbnot Mr. Jim Beam That’s what it takes to get me through the day. I ain’t gonna preach my wit Or talk any of the hippie sh** Just smoke some herb and I’ll be on my way. So be wise and take this advise from me My name’s Major Stoner and you will see A little herb will, Get you through the day. Chorus: Get out that triple beam A little herbnot Jim Beam That’s what it takes to get me through the day. I ain’t here to preach no wit Just take all of my redneck sh** Cuz I'm smokin' my herb and I’ll be on my way.
