The Song Of The One Legged Chicken |
Do you like true stories? |
I do |
That’s why I’m singing this song |
A song about one legged chicken |
Who lives in the straw on the floor in my barn |
I remember the day she was hatched out |
The vet came to see her and said |
«She has only one leg, she’ll never grow up» |
He said that chick would be better off dead |
I said, «No, let’s just let her keep growing |
We’ll just wait and see how she gets» |
Before very long she was hopping |
And pecking and chasing the bugs with the rest |
And now she is a beautiful chicken |
Though she has only one leg |
When I go to see her each morning |
She hops from the nest and she leaves me an egg |
And she cackles |
Do you like true stories? |
I do |
That’s why I’ve sung you this song |
The song about the one legged chicken |
Who lives on the floor in my barn |
