Song Lyrics
Here come the chicken, here come the chicken

Chicken down the road

Here come the chicken, here come the chicken

Chicken down the road

That chicken got the hiccups

That chicken got hiccups

That chicken got the hiccups

Somebody help that chicken, please.

Here come the chicken, here come the chicken

Chicken down the road

Here come the chicken, here come the chicken

Chicken down the road

That chicken got the hiccups

That chicken got hiccups

That chicken got the hiccups

Give that chicken some water, please.
