Louis Jordan - A Chicken Ain't Nothin' But a Bird Lyrics

Lyrics A Chicken Ain't Nothin' But a Bird - Louis Jordan



Everybody's talking 'bout chicken
Chicken's a popular word
But anywhere you go, you're bound to find
A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird
Some people call it a fowl
That's the story I've heard
But let 'em call it this and let 'em call it that
A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird
You can boil it, roast it, broil it
Put it in a pan or a pot, brown it
Eat it with potatoes, rice or tomatoes
Chicken is still what you've got, boy!
It was a dish for old Caesar
Also King Henry the Third
But Columbus was a help, he said, "Take this tip
A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird"
You can boil it, roast it, broil it
Put it in a pan or a pot, brown it
Eat it with potatoes, rice or tomatoes
Chicken is still what you've got, boy!
It was a dish for old Caesar
Also King Henry the Third
But Columbus was a help, he said, "Take this tip
A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird
A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird"
