Talkin About Chicken

            C                      
Well  I was peekin' in the pantry  
           F       G
 there was nothin' there
        C                       
I never been so hungry   but the 
 D              G
cupboards were bare
C                               F
My baby said tonight it's gonna 
       D
be slim pickin's
                C                  
I said  are you talkin' about love 
           G             C
or are you talkin' about chicken

[verse]

    C                              
The kids were out for the evenin'  
      F           G
 they hadn't come back
      C                       
So we snuck downstairs   for a 
 D        G
midnight snack
       C                           
I said gal this sure is greasy   
       F             D
but it's mighty finger lickin'
                  C                
She said  are you talkin' about 
             G             C
love or are you talkin' about 
chicken

[Chorus]

    G
Now chicken   ain't nothin'  but a 
bird
    C
And some say love is just a four 
letter word
Continues after the ad
          G
Since the bird is the word   you're 
gonna be alright
            C                      
With just a little taste of one or 
    G       C
the other tonight

[Verse]

       C                           
Well I just finished perusin'   the
 F      G
 Sunday news
          C                        
And I was thinkin'  'bout grabbin' 
       D      G
me   a midday snooze
         C                     
She said come here and stir the 
                F         D
gravy  'til it starts to thicken
                C                  
I said  are you talkin' about love 
           G             C
or are you talkin' about chicken

[Verse]

      C                            
I was over at the neighbors   for a
 F     G
 bar-B-Q
    C                      D       
The grill was cookin'  the Mrs was 
G
too
         C                         
She said come in here sweety   and 
          F           D
give me a hand in the kitchen
        C                        
Was she talkin' about love or was 
     G             C
she talkin' about chicken

[Chorus]

    G
Now chicken   ain't nothin'  but a 
bird
    C
And some say love is just a four 
letter word
          G
Since the bird is the word   you're 
gonna be alright
            C                      
With just a little taste of one or 
    G       C
the other tonight

[Chorus]

    G
Now chicken   ain't nothin'  but a 
bird
    C
And some say love is just a four 
letter word
          G
Since the bird is the word   you're 
gonna be alright
            C                      
With just a little taste of one or 
    G       C
the other tonight
