Catalogue #730

Momma got chili in the cookin' pot
Daddy got axe from the wood chop block
I'm chasin' chicken in the hen house now
Ain't gonna get away

My little sister got the sugar sack
She wants the white, I want the black
Little Eloise she likes 'em fat, ain't gonna get away

I just love that salt and pepper lime
Grandaddy gonna bring a bottle of gin
And a little of the old moonshine

Every Spring, you can't resist that thing
When Sunday comes we dance and sing
that Chili Chicken Rag

Billy's in the wood shed, wavin' his spade
Daddy said he's gonna have to sharpen that blade
I'm chasin' chicken in the hen house now
Ain't gonna get away

Cousin Sid must be a fool
He's 24 and still at school
Somebody gonna have to knock him off his stool
That chicken ain't gonna get away

I just love those crispy wings and legs
Sally's comin' over with a flagon of red
In the mornin' she'll be cookin' up the eggs

Every Spring...

Thumbelina and the ballerina got smashed
Hangin' on the strip, tryin' to make some cash
But you don't have to worry 'bout a thing no more
That chicken ain't gonna get away

”Come on home” said Uncle Jed
“You deserve a country spread
That city life won't get you fed
Those big ideas fill up your head

Time to jump that freight train headin' south
Momma got chili chicken waitin' for you
Gonna be a hootenanny in your mouth”

Every Spring...
