Philadelphia Chickens
Well, I'm coming from
Connecticut on I-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 had a scene
That 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,
Whey do it with ease
The Philadelphia Chickens
Will be dancing tonight
Thousands of chickens
In the pale moon light.
There's nothing like a chicken
That knows how to swing!
Poultry in motion,
It's 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)
Hey, hey, oh no
Let it swing and watch 'em go
You 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.
The Philadelphia Chickens
Will be dancing tonight,
Thousands of chickens
In the pale moon light
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!)
