It's a trick to pick a chicken
When it cackles in the coop
Some are laying, some are lying
Some are labeled chicken soup
Take a dominicker rooster
Or a dominicker hen
For some ricky, ticky, chicken pickin'
Right from the pen
Coo wacka doodle, fricassee and noodle
Coo wacka doodle, yams and apple strudel
Out in the country that's the style
Sweet as the kisses from a honey child
ย
When you wake up in the morning
To the cock-a-doodle-doo
And you sneak into the chicken shack
And pick a chicken too
Fill a kettle full of vittles
In a griddle pot'll do
Call it fricassee or chickassee
It's only chicken stew
Coo wacka doodle, fricassee and noodle
Coo wacka doodle, yams and apple strudel
Out in the country that's the style
Sweet as the kisses from a honey child
ย
Now the farmer's got a gobbler
And a gander and a goose
And a mighty pretty daughter
But he'll never turn her loose
If you like the farmer's daughter
She's a chicken you can steal
If you swing a wily fiddle
Play us a real chicken reel
Coo wacka doodle, fricassee and noodle
Coo wacka doodle, yams and apple strudel
Out in the country that's the style
Sweet as the kisses from a honey child
Cock-a-doodle-doo
