[Verse 1]
Got chickens in the houses
They got chickens in the trees
Chicken in the pot's the motto of the
Petalumees

[Chorus]
I'm out in Petaluma
Spendin' my days
Oh, I'm out in Petaluma
Spendin' my days
Tell me, how many eggs will a chicken lay?

[Verse 2]
Now Marvin got me started
Sold me my first hen
Now I got four and twenty
And twenty-four more again

[Chorus]
I'm out in Petaluma
Spendin' my days
Oh, I'm out in Petaluma
Spendin' my days
Tell me, how many eggs will a chicken lay?
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
It's chicken in the morning
It's chicken in the night
Weren't for chicken, Petaluma
Never woulda reached its height

[Chorus]
I'm out in Petaluma
Spendin' my days
Oh, I'm out in Petaluma
Spendin' my days
Tell me, how many eggs will a chicken lay?
