Got chickens in the houses, we got chickens in the trees
A
Chicken in the pots of all the Petalumees

Oh, I'm out in Petaluma , spending my days

Oh, I'm out in Petaluma , spending my days

Tell me how many eggs will a chicken lay

Oh Marvin got me started, gave me my first hen

And now I got four and twenty  and twenty four more again
