HARRY BELAFONTE
"Chickens"
(C.C. Carter / Gene Corman / Fred Hellerman)

We had some chickens
No eggs would they lay
My wife said honey
This isn't funny, we're losing money
Why don't the little chickens lay

One day a rooster came into our yard
And caught those little chickens
Right off their guard

They're laying eggs now just like they used to
Ever since that rooster came into our yard
They're laying eggs now just like they used to
Ever since that rooster came into our yard
