Yeah a chicken wakes up to a new world every day
Far as a chicken’s concerned everything’s a-okay
Ah a chicken don’t worry ’bout nothin’ but cluckin’ and the price of eggs today
N/C D
And don’t worry much about that
‘Cause what the farmer don’t snatch before she can hatch
Ah the weasle gonna steal ’em anyway
Ah a chicken wakes up to a new world every day
You reckon a chicken ever finds herself frettin’
About gettin’ old or ugly or fat?
I know a chicken’s kinda dim but I’m goin’ out on a limb
I’d say a chicken’s smarter’n that
Hell a chicken’s just happy bein’ one of them chickens
That ain’t one of them chickens in every pot
You know a chicken knows that half of bein’ happy’s just bein’ happy with what ya got
And the other half of bein’ happy’s just bein’ happy no matter what
People life is short, time’s a-tickin
If you wanna [G/]live like a king gotta think like a chicken
Oh and a chicken wakes up to a new world everyday
Far as a chicken’s concerned everything’s a-okay
Ah a chicken don’t worry ’bout nothin’ but cluckin’ and the price of eggs today
N/C D
That’s eggs, a-g-g-g-g-g-s, and don’t worry much about that
‘Cause what the farmer don’t snatch before she can hatch
Ah the weasle gonna steal ’em anyway
Ah a chicken wakes up to a whole new world every day
Poor old chicken don’t get no respect
They’re either swipin’ her eggs or fryin’ her legs or tryin’ to ring her neck
Well a chicken understands her position and knows in this current condition
It ain’t gonna change so she made a decision to roost every evenin’
In the rusted out chassis of a beat up Chevrolet
And just wake up to a new world every day, yodel-ay
Oh a chicken wakes up to a whole new world every day
Far as a chicken’s concerned everything’s a-okay
Ah a chicken don’t worry ’bout nothin’ but cluckin’ and the price of eggs today
N/C D
And don’t worry much about that
‘Cause what the farmer don’t snatch before she can hatch
Hell the weasle gonna steal ’em anyway
A chicken wakes up to a new world
A chicken wakes up to a new world
Ah a chicken buck-wakes up to a new world every day
Oh a chicken wakes up to a whole new world every day, alright
Hey a chicken wakes up to a whole new world every day
