A Chicken Ain't Nothin' but a Bird Songtext
von 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"
