Lyrics

Everybody’s Got A Chicken (But You)

Muddy fairground on a bright afternoon
You got dirty cotton candy and popped balloons
Sunday came just a little too soon
With a bill for Saturday night, that’s right
When you told me we were through
And everybody got one, everybody got one
They all got a chicken but you

You used to be laughing with your thumb on your nose
Now you’re under the table with the crumbs and the toes
Looking for love with nothing to show
Remember how you hurt my pride? that’s right
But I found someone new
Now everybody got one, everybody got one
They all got a chicken but you

You got to church a little late
Cried, cried, cried, in the collection plate
Said take these tears I can’t wait
Get ‘em out of my sight. that’s right
Now the other foot’s got the shoe
And everybody got one, everybody got one
They all got a chicken but you
