[Verse 1] Well, I woke up this mornin’ with food on my mind, Dreamin’ ’bout a feast of the finger‑lickin’ kind. It wasn’t steak or lobster or a pizza pie Just a plain ole chicken so good I could cry You can toss it in a skillet, hear that oil pop, Golden‑brown crunch that can't be topped. Or slather on a sweet‑and‑smoky barbecue glaze— I could eat that bird in a thousand ways. [Chorus] Oh, deep‑fried in a basket, baked in a dish, Better than a burger or a fried catfish. Grilled on a rack with hickory smoke, Or smothered in gravy — man, that ain’t no joke. Nuggets or tenders or a couple of thighs, Chicken and dumplins bring a tear to my eyes. Wings and drumsticks — I get compulsive, I’d eat the feet too… if they weren’t so repulsive. [Verse 2] Shred it in a taco for an international treat Or make it Kung Pao style, that's so good to eat Toss it in a soup and they’ll be beggin' for more, Or just grab a rotisserie bird from the grocery store. Boil it, broil it, stir‑fry in a pan, Eat it off a stick like a carnival man. Pulled, chopped, sliced, stuffed with cheese— Put some in my salad, won’t you pretty please? [Bridge] My doctor said, “You all gotta cut back on the grease.” I said, “Doc, a grilled chicken breast brings me some peace.” He smiled and said, “Well, that’s fine and dandy.” So I wrapped it in bacon — tasted just like candy. [Chorus] Oh, deep‑fried in a basket, baked in a casserole dish, Better than a burger or any kind of fish. Grill 'er on a rack with lotsa hickory smoke, Or smothered in gravy - man, that ain’t no joke. Nuggets or tenders or a couple of thighs, Chicken and dumplins bring a tear to my eyes. Wings and drumsticks — I get compulsive, I’d eat the feet too… if they weren’t so repulsive. [Outro] Pass the hot sauce baby … And save me a drumstick or two. Chicken for breakfast, chicken for dinner — Great God almighty, we love that bird.
