Testo C-H-I-C-K-E-N - Van Dyke Parks
Testo della canzone C-H-I-C-K-E-N (Van Dyke Parks), tratta dall'album Moonlighting-Live At The Ash Grove
In a little old country schoolhouse
Where the children used to go
There lived a little fella
By the name of Ragtime Joe
One day the teacher called the class
To spell a certain kind of a bird
The kind of bird it was a chicken
And he could not spell the word
So the teacher called on Ragtime Joe
To spell that word for them
He did not hesitate a bit
This is the way that he began
C, that's the way to begin
H, that's the next letter in
I, that is the third
C, now you season in the bird
K, that's fill it in
E, you're getting near the end
C-H-I-C-K-E-N
That there's the way to spell "chicken"
Parson Parks he gave a concert
In the old schoolhouse one night
He hired a lot of fellas
Who could sing and could recite
But when they pulled the curtain
Everything went wrong, you know
Until one fella loudly called
"Let's hear from Ragtime Joe!"
He sang them ragtime jookum tunes
Did not do so well
He says "I went a frost on that
So I guess I have to spell"
And then he told the audience
He had composed this chicken song
And when he sang these words, my man
He took the house by storm
C, that's the way to begin
H, that's the next letter in
I, that is the third
C, now you season in the bird
K, fill it in
With an E, you're getting near the end
C-H-I-C-K-E-N
That there's the way to spell "chicken"
C, that's the way to begin
H, next letter in
I, that is the third
C, now you season in the bird
K, fill it in
With an E, you're getting near the end
C-H-I-C-K-E-N
That there's the way to spell "chicken"
