Chicken Coop

Working at the henhouse a dollar a day
Can't make a living if it doesn't pay
Working at the henhouse a dollar a day
No you can't make a living if it doesn't pay
I used to be fond of chicken too
Now I'm working at the Chicken Coop


Squaking and pecking and laying eggs
Feeling kinda sorry for that bird in a cage
Squaking and pecking and laying eggs
Feeling kinda sorry for that bird in a cage
I'll never buy another can of chicken soup
Been working at the Chicken Coop

Over easy poached and sunny side up
Feathers getting ruffled with a cackle and cluck
Boss getting ornery ain't it just my luck
He told me where to go
I said go get ..what?

Roosters crowing there's a broken yoke
If I don't work overtime I'm gonna go broke
Roosters crowing there's a broken yoke
If I don't work overtime I'm gonna go broke
I'll never have another chicken barbecue

Feeling kinda sorry for that bird in a cage
Out of the fire into the frying pan
think I'm gonna go vegetarian
