INTRO: G
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 ever
yday
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 C
hevrolet
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 c
hicken 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
