When a man loves a chicken
He can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He stay in the barn for the good thing he's found
If he is henpecked he can't see it; she can't do no wrong
Road Island Red is his best friend, he can't put her down

When a man wants a chicken, spends his very last dime
Buying her fresh corn down at the grain and feed
He'll build a nest for her comfort, and sleep out in the coop
If she said that's the way it's got to be

Well, this man loves his chicken
She lays him all the eggs she has
Tell the farmer there's nothin' going on
Believe me, she's cluckin' just 'cause she's mine

When a man loves a chicken, people think that it is wrong
He shouldn't stick his beak in where it don't belong
Yes, when a man loves a chicken I know exactly how he feels
Hey baby, baby, baby I'm your cock-a-doodle-doo

When a man loves a chicken
I know exactly how he feels
He'll shack up in the hen house with the good thing he's found

When a man loves a chicken
People think that he's insane
But all he can do is wing it for the one he loves
Yes, this man loves a chicken
Oh, I know it can't do me no harm
