She said to write a song about Fried Chicken
Fried Chicken
Fried Chicken
She said to write a song about Fried Chicken
So here’s the Fried Chicken song

There’s an old commercial goes:
“Great Fried Chicken!”
“It’s not fried!”
“It’s not?”
“It’s Shake ‘n Bake! And I helped!”

Well that’s just dumb, no one thinks Shake ‘n Bake is
Fried Chicken, Fried Chicken
And that, my friends, is verse one
Of the Fried chicken song

In verse 2, we reflect on the fact that
Fried Chicken, Fried Chicken
Is a tasty treat!
And that’s verse 2
Of the Fried Chicken song

In the bridge, we learn that
Fried Chicken
Goes real good with potatoes and corn
Sometimes it comes in buckets with pictures of
Southern dead bought-out figureheads

And that, my friends, is the song about,
Fried Chicken, Fried Chicken
I hope you come back soon and sing
This Fried Chicken song

She said to write a song about Fried Chicken
Fried Chicken
Fried Chicken
She said to write a song about Fried Chicken
So here’s the Fried Chicken song
