00:30To catch that chicken for dinner tonight

00:32Feathers flying round now, that's a sight

00:36Oh, the chase is on, gotta run and fly

00:41Plucking and squawking under the bright blue sky

00:44With a grin on my face and a heart full of cheer

00:47I'm chasing that chicken, it's dinner time, my dear

00:52I grabbed my hat, my boots on tight

00:57Hopped on the porch, ready for the fight

01:00That chicken's fast, don't let her fool

01:03You're gonna take some skills just like a good old blues tune

01:07She zigzags round like a wild old horse

01:12I'm giving it all, gotta step up the course

01:16Oh, the chase is on, gotta run and fly

01:20Plucking and squawking under the bright blue sky

01:23With a grin on my face and a heart full of cheer

01:26I'm chasing that chicken, it's dinner time, my dear

01:31Round the barn and over the fence

01:52She's a crafty bird, can't let her get tense

01:56I'll have her in my arms just like I planned

01:59Gotta wrangle that chicken with a steady hand

02:03The sun is high, my shoes are getting muddy

02:19With a grin on my face and a heart full of cheer

02:22I'm chasing that chicken, it's dinner time, my dear

02:27She's taking a turn and I'm all right on her tail

02:32Heart's racing fast like a runaway train

02:35Got her inside and I take a big leap

02:38Finally got a grip, oh, what a sweet she

02:41She flaps her wings, but I'm holding tight

02:46It's a rooster rodeo in this evening light

02:51Oh, the chase is on, gotta run and fly

02:55Clucking and squawking under the bright blue sky

02:58With a grin on my face and a heart full of cheer

03:01I'm chasing that chicken, it's dinner time, my dear

03:06Now that I've caught her, time for the feast

03:26Cooking up a storm, we're gathered round at least

03:29With friends and family round the old fire pit

03:32We'll be laughing about the chase, oh, wasn't it a hit

03:36So when you get the call, don't you hesitate
