The Ballad of Chicken Soup
Today our dear friend
Chicken soup
This very ordinary day
Boiled up a pot
Of chicken soup
And swallowed it away
Oh ahh, a day
Oh whoa, oye
He swallowed it away
Now listen to what I'm gonna say
A little bone, a bitty thing
No bigger than my pinky
He swallowed hot
From out that pot
In quicker than a winky
He gulped that soup
Let out a whoop
And fell down croaking
On the stoop
And he choked, aah
And he sagged
And he smothered
And he gagged
And he let out a scream
And he let out a moan
Then he cried
'Cause he died
From choking on a bone
On such an ordinary day
Like today
Oh ahh, a day
Oh whoa, oye
On an ordinary day
Chicken soup passed away
Chicken soup
This very ordinary day
Boiled up a pot
Of chicken soup
And swallowed it away
Oh ahh, a day
Oh whoa, oye
He swallowed it away
Now listen to what I'm gonna say
A little bone, a bitty thing
No bigger than my pinky
He swallowed hot
From out that pot
In quicker than a winky
He gulped that soup
Let out a whoop
And fell down croaking
On the stoop
And he choked, aah
And he sagged
And he smothered
And he gagged
And he let out a scream
And he let out a moan
Then he cried
'Cause he died
From choking on a bone
On such an ordinary day
Like today
Oh ahh, a day
Oh whoa, oye
On an ordinary day
Chicken soup passed away
