Philadelphia Chickens

Well, I'm comin' from Connecticut on I-95

Headin' toward the sunset on the East River Drive

To the pretty little city on the Delaware

The Philadelphia Chickens are sure to be there

Oh, the Philadelphia chickens

Will be dancin' tonight

Thousands of chickens in the pale moonlight

They can't sit still when the trumpets play

Strike up the band and get out of the way

And here come those Philadelphia chickens

Swing, slide and roll

Philadelphia chickens

Up, over and stroll

If you want to start movin' like anything

Find a Philadlephia Chicken to teach you to swing

If you haven't ever seen it, you can't understand

Thousands of chickens in a big swingin' band

They're tight on the turns, loose in the knees

Whatever they do, they do it with ease, yeah

The Philadelphia chickens will be dancin' tonight

Thousands of chickens in the pale moonlight

There's nothin' like a chicken that knows how to swing

Poetry in motion is a beautiful thing

Just watch those Philadelphia chickens

Swing, slide and roll

Philadelphia chickens

Up, over and stroll

Philadelphia chickens

Move those chicken feet

Philadelphia chickens

Feel that chicken beat

If you want to start movin' like anything

Find a Philadlephia Chicken to teach you to swing

Now swing it, chickens

Oh, yeah

Hey, hey, you'll know

Let it swing and watch 'em go

You gotta like what a chicken has

A little bit of attitude, a whole lot of jazz

Well, the feathers are flyin' and the music is great

The chickens keep flockin' right over the gate

Lancaster County's a state of law

How they gonna keep 'em down on the farm?

How they gonna keep 'em down on the farm?

They're never gonna keep them down on the farm

Well, let's save them Philadelphia chickens

Swing, slide and roll

Philadelphia chickens

Up, over and stroll

Philadelphia chickens

Philadelphia chickens

Move those chicken feet

Move those chicken feet

Philadelphia chickens

Philadelphia chickens

Feel that chicken beat

If you want to start movin' like anything

Find a Philadlephia Chicken to teach you to swing

Whoa, the Philadelphia chickens

Will be dancin' tonight

Thousands of chickens in the pale moonlight

I don't know much, but I know one thing

They're the serious chicken when it comes to swing

So unique

Whoa, beak to beak

Yeah, they're struttin' their stuff

Can't get enough of that

Hot, cool, extended thing

Ooh, those chickens can swing

Can't stop chickens from the moon above

Right here in the City of Chickenly Love

Chickens

Oh, my
