10. Chicken
(McGowan)

Jugband! Banjo! This is life. I wonder if those chicken sounds are real or did Davy make them? Maybe they keep hens inside in Scotland. --Jore

I wrote this after coming home from Tom's place drunk where we had been listening to Mungo Jerry. This is a homage to Ray Dorset - with real 'sound effect' chickens. --Davy

Black man in the White House
Redneck in the wings
Blues in a bottle
Down in Greenwood Springs

Chick, chick, chicken
Lay a little egg for me

Pope is in the pulpit
Jumpin' up and down
Wearin' a hat
Like Coco the Clown

Raucous in the rest room
Sympathetic sighs
When big leg Rosoe
Comes flashing her thighs

Big fat Ida
Is the gal for me
She can take my apples
When she shakes my tree
