I Am Chicken

sung by A Chicken (Louise Gold)
and a barnyard full of chickens
to the tune of Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman"

I am chicken, hear me squawk
Hear me crow and hear me bawck
Watch me rule my roost
And strut around my coop
People say I've got great legs
And they're nuts about my eggs
And when they're sick they gobble down my soup

Oh yes, I am proud
Of the way I peck and scratch
I am plump, I am loud
Just don't count me 'till I hatch
I'm nutritious, I am pure, I'm delicious, I'm cocksure
I am tender, I'm exceptional
I am chicken!

I am chicken I'm not scared
'Cause I'm always well prepared
And I feed all kinds of people every day
I can cackle with the best
And I'll tackle any test
Showing even when I'm down, I'm still Grade A

Oh no, I'm no dumb cluck
And I won't throw in the towel
I'm no turkey, I'm no duck
I'm the fairest of the fowl
I am tasteful to the end
I'm your finest feathered friend
I am plucky, I'm unflappable, I am chicken!

background singing chickens:
She is tender, she is loud
She is plucky, she is proud
She's delicious, she is pure
She's nutritious, she's cocksure
She can cook and she is chic
And we love her wings and beak
(repeat)
