The Chicken and the Hawk
Joe Turner
Well, a girly chicken fell in love with a chicken hawk
Well, a girly chicken fell in love with a chicken hawk
Fell head over heels for that hawk's sweet talk
She said, "Take me up hawky, take me up in the sky
She said, "Take me up hawky, take me up in the sky
I'm just a little bitty chicken and I don't know how to fly
He said, "Up, up and away, we goin' fly all day
Up, up and away, we goin' fly all day
Up, up, up, up and away"
He met a bald headed eagle flying up there in the blue
He met a bald headed eagle flying up there in the blue
Well the eagle told the hawk, I'm goin' steal that chicken from you
Well the hawk start flying like a P8 single jet
Well the hawk start flying like a P8 single jet
He said, "Cool down chicken, the eagle ain't got us yet"
He said, "Up, up and away, we goin' fly all day
Up, up and away, we goin' fly all day
Up, up, up, up and away"
Well, you asked him for the sun, did you ask him for the moon?
Well, you asked him for the sun, did you ask him for the moon?
He said, "Cool down, baby, we're goin' to be there soon"
He said, "Up, up and away, we goin' fly all day
Up, up and away, we goin' fly all day
Up, up, up, up and away"
