Louis Jordan - A Chicken Ain't Nothin' but a Bird lyrics

Everyone's talking 'bout chicken Chicken's a popular bird Anywhere you go, you're bound to find A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird Some folks call it a fowl That's the story I heard But let 'em call it this and let 'em call it that A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird You can boil it, roast it, broil it Cook it in a pan or a pot, brown it Eat it with potatoes, rice or tomatoes But chicken's still what you got, boy It was a dish for old Caesar Also King Henry the Third But Columbus was hip, he said "Take this tip A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird" You can boil it, roast it, broil it Put it in a pan or a pot, brown it Eat it with potatoes, rice or tomatoes A chicken's still what you got, boy It was a dish for old Caesar Also King Henry the Third But Columbus was smart, said "You can't fool me A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird" A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird
