         C                  
Far as a chicken's concerned 
 D              G
everything's a-okay
     C                        
Ah a chicken don't worry 'bout 
 D                            G   
nothin' but cluckin' and the price
          D
 of eggs today
N/C                             D
And don't worry much about that
                C                  
'Cause what the farmer don't snatch

You reckon a chicken ever finds 
herself frettin'
      G
About gettin' old or ugly or fat?
         C                         
I know a chicken's kinda dim but 
        D
I'm goin' out on a limb
          G
I'd say a chicken's smarter'n that
       C                          
Hell a chicken's just happy bein' 
D
one of them chickens
           G
That ain't one of them chickens in 
every pot
           C                       
You know a chicken knows that half 
of bein' happy's just bein' happy 
             D

respect

They're either swipin' her eggs or 
fryin' her legs or tryin' to ring 
    D
her neck
       C
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
