My cousin married a chicken
His folks ain't sayin' a word.
Got five hundred ninety six kinfolk,
but none of them married a bird.
He says, it's just platonic,
but he married her just the same..........
Not sure just what he said to make
that poultry take his name.
So I guess technically by marriage
that chicken is my cousin
and I ain't exactly thrilled
with what this does to me.
If your cousins marry chickens
they should have to get permission
fore you wake up with a bunch of chickens
up your family tree.
My cousin married a chicken
His folks ain't sayin' a word.
The town is full of gossip
cause everyone has heard.
They're asking me this question
that makes me wanna hide.........
Do I like my second cousins
scrambled, poached or fried?
I can't have a chicken for a cousin
and still call myself a man
so I stayed up late last night
and I hatched myself a plan
Gonna go down to that henhouse,
but I won't need a gun.
I'll just bust the locks, call up a fox
and call that chicken done.
My cousin married a chicken
His folks have disappeared
Turns out my cousin's just as crazy
as we all had feared.
There's still unanswered questions
and I'm not placin' blame........
But I still wonder what he said to make
that poultry take his name.
I still wonder what he said to make
