[Chorus]
Hey you may be a hater, you may be a lover
You can bet your life one destroys the other
I don't know how it all began
Which come first, the egg or the hen?
Now tell me which come first, the egg or the hen?

[Verse 1]
Like fire dries the water, you know water puts out the fire
Like a lie destroy the truth, you know the truth destroy the lie
Like white covers the black, you know the black it covers the white
Like night covers the day, you know the day it covers the night

[Chorus]
You may be a hater, you may be a lover
I bet your life one destroys the other
I don't know how it all began
Which come first, the egg or the hen?
Now tell me which come first, the egg or the hen?

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 2]
Like the bad destroy the good, you know the good destroy the bad
Like the glad destroy the mad, you know the mad destroy the glad
Like cold destroy the hot, you know the hot destroy the cold
Like the old are smarter than young, you know the young overpower the old

[Chorus]
You may be a hater, you may be a lover
I bet your life one destroys the other
I don't know how it all began
Which come first, the egg or the hen?
You tell me which come first, the egg or the hen?
You tell me which come first, the egg or the hen?
