Alabama Chicken - Sean Hayes

Possum trot

copper ring round

and the dog needs something to eat

Old Ned Berry in a Cadillac hearse

down a Birmingham street

Spoon man’s here, and the folk man’s near

Snake charm in between

Five fellow freaks in a Cadillac hearse

down a Birmingham street

Alabama Chicken, show me the way

Alabama Chicken, got something to say

Look him in the eye

Bird don’t lie

Alabama chicken

Voodoo, booday

Voodoo, booday

Blue bottle fly

A fish is on the wall

and the pot’s got a scary face

Old Ned Berry spinning his wheel

on a Birmingham day

Bottle top drum

and a horse head with rust

The bird done lost its beak

Blow your horn for a green dinosaur

on a Birmingham street

Alabama Chicken, show me the way

Alabama Chicken, got something to say

Look him in the eye

Bird don’t lie

Alabama chicken

Voodoo, booday

Voodoo, booday

Old James Brown

came to get down

Old James Brown

Old James Brown

came to get down

Blow your horn, the fork man’s coming

Blow your horn, the fork man

Blow your horn, the fork man’s coming

Blow your horn, the fork man

Alabama chicken, show me the way

Alabama chicken, got something to say

Look him in the eye

Bird don’t lie

Alabama chicken

Voodoo, booday

Voodoo, booday

Cluck old hen

Cluck I said

You the best hen that ever laid an egg

Sometimes one, sometimes two

Sometimes enough for the whole crew*

Alabama chicken, show me the way

Alabama chicken, got something to say

Look him in the eye

Bird don’t lie

Alabama chicken

Voodoo, booday

Voodoo, booday

Cluck old hen

Cluck I said

You the best hen that ever laid an egg

Sometimes one, sometimes two

Sometimes enough for the whole crew*
