Philadelphia Chickens

Well, I'm coming from Connecticut, on I-Ninety-Five(95)

Heading toward the sunset, on the East River Drive

To the pretty little city, on the Delaware

The Philadelphia Chickens, are sure to be there

Oh, the Philadelphia Chickens, will be dancing tonight

Thousands of chickens, In the pale moonlight

They can't sit still, when the trumpets play

Strike up the band and get, out of the way

Here come those, Philadelphia Chickens!

Swing, slide, and roll

Philadelphia Chickens!

Up, over, and stroll

If you want to start, moving like anything

Find a Philadlephia Chicken, to teach you to swing



If you haven't ever seen it, you can't understand

Undulating chickens, and a big swing band

They're tight in the turns, and loose in the knees

Whatever they do, they do it with ease

Yo, the Philadelphia Chickens, will be dancing tonight

Thousands of chickens, in the pale moonlight

There's nothing like a chicken, that knows how to swing

Poultry in motion, is a beautiful thing

Just watch those, Philadelphia Chickens!

Swing, slide, and roll

Philadelphia Chickens!

Up, over, and stroll

Philadelphia Chickens!

Move those chicken feet

Philadelphia Chickens!

Feel. That. Chicken beat

If you want to start moving, like anything

Find a Philadlephia Chicken, to teach you to swing

Now swing it, Chickens!

Oh Yeah



Hey, hey, oh, no

Let it swing, and watch 'em go

You've gotta like what a chicken has:

A little bit of attitude, and a whole lot of jazz

Now the feathers are flying, and the music is great

The chickens keep flocking, right over the gate

Lancaster County's in a state of alarm!

How ya gonna keep 'em

Down on the farm?

How ya gonna keep 'em

Down on the farm?

They're never gonna keep 'em

Down on the farm



We'll take those

Philadelphia Chickens!

Swing, slide, and roll

Philadelphia Chickens!

Up, over, and stroll

Philadelphia Chickens!

Philadelphia Chickens!

Move those, chicken feet

Move those, chicken feet

Philadelphia Chickens!

Philadelphia Chickens!

Feel. That. Chicken beat

If you want to start, moving like anything

Find a Philadlephia Chicken, to teach you to swing

Oh, the Philadelphia Chickens, will be dancing tonight

Thousands of chickens, in the pale moonlight

I don't know much, but I know one thing:

These are serious chickens, when it comes to swing

Mmm, So Unique

Ahhh, Beak to Beak

Hey, struttin' their stuff

Can't get enough, of that hot, cool excellent thing

Jive Chickens in the moon above

Right here in the City of Chickenly Love

CHICKENS!

Oh My!
