[Verse I]
EWhen I first met you baby,  You fed me on chicken and wine
EIt was steak and potatos, and bAabe I sure felt fiEne
BEut now all you feed me if the seaweed and the alfalfa sprouts
sAunflower seeds and I got my doubts
Baby you lEeft me hC#mere wF#mith the chicken cBordon bElues
[Verse II]
My Estomach's empty and all I got is food for thought
I'Eve been sittin' here thinking
Bout' the tAwenty pounds of groceries we boEught
We Ebought ten pounds of wild rice, five more of beans
fiAve pounds of granola and you know what that means
I'm a rEegular fella,  and I C#mgot the cF#mhicken coBrdon bElues
[Verse III]
I'Em starved for affection and I don't think I can stand no more
thEis stuff is so strange the cockroaches moved next door
don't you sAee that old dog standing out there in the street
with a Ebig smile on his face cause they let him eat meat
AnEd i got yC#mou, AnF#md I got the chBicken
I Egot yC#mou, AF#mnd I got the chBicken
I Egot you,  and I C#mgot the cF#mhicken coBrdon bElues
