Laying Eggs Around The Clock
sung by Little Chrissy (Christopher Cerf) and the Alphabeats
Little Chrissy: Well I ate my breakfast
And I cleaned my plate
Man, those eggs really tasted great
Jumped from the table
And I ran real quick
An Alphabeat: To thank those souped-up, cooped-up chicks
Little Chrissy: The hens go
Hens: Braaack!
Little Chrissy: The hens go
Hens: Braaack!
Little Chrissy: Laying eggs
Hens: Braaack! Braaack!
Little Chrissy: Around the clock
Well, they're warm and cozy
Nesting out of the rain
Cluckin' and a'peckin'
Eating healthy grain
But how do those eggs get rolled into town?
An Alphabeat: Well, bless my soul, here's Farmer Brown
Little Chrissy: The hens go
Hens: Braaack!
Little Chrissy: The hens go
Hens: Braaack!
Little Chrissy: Laying eggs
Hens: Braaack! Braaack!
Little Chrissy: Around the clock
Farmer Brown: Well, we take these eggs
And we box 'em in twelve
And truck those boxes to the grocery shelves
Folks bring 'em home
And they love 'em a lot
Mrs. Brown: And we're real proud of the eggs they bought
Little Chrissy: The hens go
Hens: Braaack!
Little Chrissy: The hens go
Hens: Braaack!
Little Chrissy: Laying eggs
Hens: Braaack! Braaack!
Little Chrissy: Around the clock
Spoken:
Little Chrissy: That's why I love the music business, you meet so many great chicks!
