A Chicken Ain't Nothing But A Bird (Album Version)

by Cab Calloway

Lyrics
Chicken

Nice fried chicken

Barbecued chicken

Won't you send it down the line

Say
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

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 smart
Said "You can't fool me
A chicken ain't nothin' but a bird "

You can boil it roast it broil it
Cook it in a pan or a pot

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 "
