Koko Taylor - What Came First the Egg or the Hen Lyrics

Lyrics What Came First the Egg or the Hen - Koko Taylor



Hey you may be a hater, you may be a lover
You can bet your life one destroys the other
I don′t know how it all began
Which come first, the egg or the hen
Now tell me which come first, the egg or the hen?
Like fire puts out the water, you know water puts out the fire
Like a lie destroy the truth, you know the truth destroys the lie
Like white covers the black, you know the black it covers the white
Like night covers the day, you know the day it covers the night
You may be a hater, you may be a lover
I bet your life one destroys the other
I don't know how it all began
Which come first, the egg or the hen
Now tell me which come first, the egg or the hen?
Like the bad destroys the good, you know the good destroys the bad
Like the glad destroys the mad, you know the mad destroys the glad
Like cold destroys the hot, you know the hot destroys the cold
Like the old are smarter than young, you know the young overpower the old
You may be a hater, you may be a lover
I bet your life one destroys the other
I don′t know how it all began
Which come first, the egg or the hen
You tell me which come first, the egg or the hen?
You tell me which come first, the egg or the hen?
