Chicken Soup
This very ordinary day
Boiled up a pot of
Chicken soup
And swallowed it away
A-lack! A-day!
O-Woe! Oy-Vey!
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!
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
A-lack! A-day!
O-Woe! Oy-Vey!
On an ordinary day
Chicken soup passed away!
Today our dear friend Chicken Soup This very ordinary day Boiled up a pot of Chicken soup And swallowed it away A-lack! A-day! O-Woe! Oy-Vey! 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! 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 A-lack! A-day! O-Woe! Oy-Vey! On an ordinary day Chicken soup passed away! Explain Request ×
