Lyrics
A one, two, three, one, ready, play!
Do you like true stories? I do
That's why I'm singing this song
The song about the one-legged chicken
Who lives in the straw on the floor in my barn
I remember the day she was hatched out
The vet came to see her and said
"That chick has just one leg, she'll never grow up
I think that she would be better off dead"
I said, "No, let's just let her keep goin'
We'll just wait and see how she gets"
Before very long she was hoppin'
And peckin' and chasin' the bugs with the rest
And now she is a beautiful chicken
Though she has only one leg
When I go to see her each mornin'
She hops from the nest and she lays me an egg
And she cackles
Do you like true stories? Well, I do
That's why I've sung you this song
The song about the one-legged chicken
Who lives on the floor in my barn
Do you like true stories? I do
That's why I'm singing this song
The song about the one-legged chicken
Who lives in the straw on the floor in my barn
I remember the day she was hatched out
The vet came to see her and said
"That chick has just one leg, she'll never grow up
I think that she would be better off dead"
I said, "No, let's just let her keep goin'
We'll just wait and see how she gets"
Before very long she was hoppin'
And peckin' and chasin' the bugs with the rest
And now she is a beautiful chicken
Though she has only one leg
When I go to see her each mornin'
She hops from the nest and she lays me an egg
And she cackles
Do you like true stories? Well, I do
That's why I've sung you this song
The song about the one-legged chicken
Who lives on the floor in my barn
