Chicken!

Uploaded .

Final version
it needs a fiddle but it has a mandolin, a chicken banjo and some excellent backing vocalists
my third demo for RPM 2011

The cat’s in the window and
the rabbit’s in the hutch
goat’s in the meadow just
a-chewin on the birch
take me out to dinner and
we can go Dutch!
Paark!!
My chickens’ re all over that yard.

The goat’s in the meadow - NOT!!
we’d better go search
the cat’s in the barn and
the rabbit’s in the hutch
I want an egg for dinner but
i couldn’t find the clutch
Paark!!
My chickens’ re all over that yard.

The dog’s in the hen-house
the cat’s on the perch
the rabbit’s in the meadow
the goats on the hutch
I’m getting thinner will you still stay in touch?
Paark!!
My chickens’ re all over that yard.

The cat’s in the pantry
the dog’s in the church
sister’s getting married but
he left her in the lurch
it’s time for my dinner
but i won’t get much
Paark!!
My chickens’ re all over that yard.

Gumbo, can we have dinner?

Guest said

You can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. But I live in hope that you will. :) I couldn't find the clutch either. In fact, I shouldn't be legal on the road. How the hell do you sing like a chicken?? Are you some kind of hybrid? Dude!
