The cows and chickens are goin' to the dickens
Cause I love you, a bushel and a peck
You bet your pretty neck I do

Did I do some sweet bone-pickin'? - Yes, sir!
When my neighbor counts his flock,
Will he get a shock?
And will he miss that Plymouth Rock? - Yes, sir!

Goatlord - Chicken Dance

Deep in the mist of the enchanted bayou
Dwellers of the swamp are forming a circle
Mosquitoes swarm around naked bodies
They come to drink the blood of the fowl
As they stand in the dense quagmire
Witch doctors apply sense of Hell
Their flesh glissens in the fire
My eyes bleed as I watch

[chorus]
Choking on a bone
Chicken's blood

Through the smoke I see her tied
Unable to free her wrists
They chant and cackle tongue
The chicken's blood is so sweet
The sky is calling me to join
The tribe is standing around the fire
Payote affects them all
I must join their weird cult

[chorus]
Chicken dance
Choking on chicken's bones

As you enter the chicken's home
You will find that you are not
In his same mind...

And as she flew around the room like a balloon, I

See the clouds are darkening
With wings of chickens
They're coming home to roost
I tell you my friend
Pictures of poodles
Chickens coming home
To sit on your shoulder bone

All the chickens come on home to roost
Plump bodies blotting out the sky
You know it breaks my heart in half, in half
When I see them trying to fly

Maybe I'd sell you a chicken
With poison interlaced with the meat

He listen to traffic go by
That chicken done, story been told
To get to the other side

I warn ya, don't go near that road
I know that road, it's a bitch
I walk right next to that road
All hanging out in the ditch

If ever you travel that road
You better keep over your side
And keepin' your hands on the wheel
That road be a long road to ride.

And everybody goes whichever way the wind blows
