Chickens With Lips
              
Words and music by Ezra Barany
                          with Sam Coble on guitar.


   Here's to chickens with lips!
   Here's to chickens with lips!
   That's what my friend would say.
   He'd say it every day.
   He would say here's to chickens with lips!

   Chickens with lips would be better kissers.
   They'd be able to say "Don't chop off my head."
   They'd tell you how much they would
      like to ride a bike.
   And they'd be able to laugh at how they
      peed in your bed.

  
Chorus

   Chickens with lips could offer you oatmeal cookies.
   They could ask what kind of tea would interest you.
   And as they made your tea and cookies with their
      specially-designed-for-chickens tea
      and coffee maker,
   They could ask you if you'd like one lump or two.

  
Chorus

   They could say words like "paginate"
      and "defenestrate."
   They could talk a chicken out of jumping
      off a bridge.
   They could be hired to do commercials for
      Malt-O-Meal.
   Wouldn't it be nice if they had lips?

   Oh, chickens with lips could put on black lipstick.
   They could put on spikes and join the gothic clubs.
   They could order tickets to see all the
      vampire chicken films.
   And they'd get hired to do foreign-film overdubs.

  
Chorus
