[Intro]
N.C.
Do you know what time it is? (what time is it?
N.C.
It's time for  the CHICKEN SONG!!!
[Verse 1]
Yeah a Cchicken wakes up to a Dnew world every Gday
Far as a Cchicken's concerned Deverything's a-Gokay
Ah a Cchicken don't worry 'bout Dnothin' but cluckin' and the Gprice of eggs Ctoday
N.C.                            D  
And don't worry much about that
'Cause what the Cfarmer don't snatch Dbefore she can hatch
Ah the Gweasle gonna steal 'em Canyway
Ah a Gchicken wakes up to a Dnew world every Gday
CYou reckon a chicken ever Dfinds herself frettin'
About Ggettin' old or ugly or fat?
I know a Cchicken's kinda dim but I'm goin' Dout on a limb
I'd say a Gchicken's smarter'n that
Hell a Cchicken's just happy bein' Done of them chickens
That ain't Gone of them chickens in every pot
You know a Cchicken knows that half of bein' happy's just bein' happy with what ya Dgot
And the other Chalf of bein' happy's just bein' happy no matter Dwhat
People Clife is short, Dtime's a-tickin
If you wanna Clive like a king gotta think like a C7chicken
Oh and a Cchicken wakes up to a Dnew world everGyday
Far as a Cchicken's concerned Deverything's aG-okay
Ah a Cchicken don't worry 'bout Dnothin' but cluckin' and the Gprice of eggs Ctoday
N.C.                                                      D  
That's eggs, a-g-g-g-g-g-s, and don't worry much about that
'Cause what the Cfarmer don't snatch Dbefore she can hatch
Ah the Gweasle gonna steal 'em Canyway
Ah a Gchicken wakes up to a Dwhole new world every Gday
EmPoor old chicken don't Cget no respect
They're either Gswipin' her eggs or fryin' her legs or tryin' to ring her Dneck
Well a Cchicken 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 up CDhevrolet
And just Cwake up to a Dnew world every Gday, yodel-ay
Oh a Cchicken wakes up to a Dwhole new world every Gday
Far as a Cchicken's concerned Deverything's a-Gokay
Ah a cChicken don't worry 'bout Dnothin' but cluckin' and the Gprice of eggs Ctoday
N.C                             D  
And don't worry much about that
'Cause what the Cfarmer don't snatch Dbefore she can hatch
Hell the Gweasle gonna steal 'em Canyway
[Outro]
A Gchicken wakes up to a Dnew world
A Cchicken wakes up to a Dnew world
Ah a Gchicken buck-wakes up Dto a new world every GdayC  
Oh a Gchicken wakes up to a Dwhole new world every Gday, Calright
Hey a Gchicken wakes up to a Dwhole new world every Gday
