The Chicken And The Hawk

The Chicken and the Hawk - Big Joe Turner

Well a girly chicken fell in love with

A chicken hawk

Well a girly chicken fell in love with

A chicken hawk

She fell head over heels for that

Hawk's sweet talk

She said "Take me up hawky

Take me up in the sky"

She said "Take me up hawky

Take me up in the sky

I'm just a little bitty chicken

And I don't know how to fly"

He said "Up up and away

We gon' fly all day

Up up and away we gon' fly all day

Up up up up and away"

He met a bald headed eagle

Flying up there in the blue

He met a bald headed eagle

Flying up there in the blue

Well the eagle told the hawk

"I'm goin' to steal that chicken from you"

Well the hawk starts flying like a P8 single jet

Well the hawk starts flying like a P8 single jet

He said "Cool down chicken

The eagle ain't got us yet"

He said "Up up and away

We gon' fly all day

Up up and away

We gon' fly all day

Up up up up and away"

Well you asked him for the sun

Did you ask him for the moon

Well you asked him for the sun

Did you ask him for the moon

He said "Cool down baby

We're gonna be there soon"

He said "Up up and away we gon' fly all day

Up up and away we gon' fly all day

Up up up up and away"
