Sharon Lois & Bram Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

.C., that’s the way to begin
And .H., that’s the next letter in.
And .I., is the middle of the word
And .C., you.ve already heard
And, .K., is a kind of a hen
And, .E., get near the end.
C-H-I-C-K-E-N,
That’s the way to spell Chicken!

Chick, chick, chick, chick chicken!
Lay a little egg for me!
Chick, chick, chick, chick chicken!
I want one for my tea!
Well I haven.t had an egg since Easter,
And now its have past three.
Oh, chick, chick, chick, chick chicken!
Lay a little egg for
Ho-lee-yo!
Lay a little egg for me!

Ham and eggs
Ham and eggs
I like mine fried nice and brown
Or I like mine turned upside down
Ham and eggs
Ham and eggs
Flip! Flop!
Flip! Flop!
Ham and eggs!

Let’s eat!
Ham and eggs
Ham and eggs
Well, I like mine fried nice and brown
And I like mine turned upside down!
Ham and eggs
Ham and eggs
Flip! Flop!
Flip! Flop!
Ham and eggs!

Yes, ham and.
Lay a little egg for.
Ham and.

That’s the way you spell
C-H-I-C-K-E-N, you spell chicken!
