Yeah a chicken wakes up to a new world every day
C D G
Far as a chicken's concerned everything's a-okay
C D G D
Ah a chicken don't worry 'bout nothin' but cluckin' and the price of eggs today
N/C D
And don't worry much about that
C D
'Cause what the farmer don't snatch before she can hatch
G
Ah the weasle gonna steal 'em anyway
G D G
Ah a chicken wakes up to a new world every day
C D
You reckon a chicken ever finds herself frettin'
G
About gettin' old or ugly or fat?
C D
I know a chicken's kinda dim but I'm goin' out on a limb
G
I'd say a chicken's smarter'n that
C D
Hell a chicken's just happy bein' one of them chickens
G
That ain't one of them chickens in every pot
C D
You know a chicken knows that half of bein' happy's just bein' happy with what ya got
C D
And the other half of bein' happy's just bein' happy no matter what
C D
People life is short, time's a-tickin

Poor old chicken don't get no respect
G D
They're either swipin' her eggs or fryin' her legs or tryin' to ring her neck
C
Well a chicken understands her position and knows in this current condition
It ain't gonna change so she made a decision to roost every evenin'
D
In the rusted out chassis of a beat up Chevrolet
C D G
And just wake up to a new world every day, yodel-ay
C D G
Oh a chicken wakes up to a whole new world every day
