Far as a chicken's concerned everything's a-okay
     C                         D                            G             D 
Ah a chicken don't worry 'bout nothin' but cluckin' and the price of eggs today
N/C                             D
And don't worry much about that
                C                   D

You reckon a chicken ever finds herself frettin' 
      G
About gettin' old or ugly or fat?
         C                                 D
I know a chicken's kinda dim but I'm goin' out on a limb
          G
I'd say a chicken's smarter'n that
       C                          D
Hell a chicken's just happy bein' one of them chickens
           G
That ain't one of them chickens in every pot
           C                                                                      D
You know a chicken knows that half of bein' happy's just bein' happy with what ya got
              C                                                D
And the other half of bein' happy's just bein' happy no matter what
       C              D

They're either swipin' her eggs or fryin' her legs or tryin' to ring her neck
       C
Well a chicken understands her position and knows in this current condition

It ain't gonna change so she made a decision to roost every evenin' 
                                        D
In the rusted out chassis of a beat up Chevrolet
         C            D               G
