Cab Calloway - A Chicken Ain't Nothin' but a Bird Lyrics

Lyrics A Chicken Ain't Nothin' but a Bird - Cab Calloway



Chicken!
Nice fried chicken!
Barbecued chicken!
Won′t you send it down the line.
Say!
Everyone's talking ′bout chicken;
Chicken's a popular bird;
But anywhere you go, you're bound to find,
A chicken ain′t nothin′ but a bird.
Some folks call it a fowl,
That's the story I 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,
Cook it in a pan or a pot,
Eat it with potatoes, rice or tomatoes,
But chicken′s still what you got, boy!
It was a dish for old Caesar,
Also King Henry the Third,
But Columbus was smart, said "You can't fool me,
A chicken ain't nothin′ but a bird."
You can boil it, roast it, broil it,
Cook it in a pan or a pot,
Eat it with potatoes, rice or tomatoes,
A chicken′s still what you got, boy!
It was a dish for old Caesar,
Also King Henry the Third,
But Columbus was smart, said "You can't fool me,
A chicken ain′t nothin' but a bird."
