The dead chicken is bloated, half rotted, I eat him, I sicken,
I take a big chance,
On my grave ya'll dance,
The chicken might have been spoiled, but it was still finger lickin'.
There was a willow growing in my raspberries, and it was getting real big,
I went and sharpened my best shovel, and for the roots, I began to deep dig,
The tangled roots, I chopped out,
Filled the hole, and drank a stout,
I cut the whole tree into firewood, and next summer it will roast my pig.
