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

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