The Lyrics
A sound recording of this parody can be found by clicking on the parody recording link at the end of the song
Hens, well, roosters think that they're hard core
Flap and founder when they try to soar
With these hens I have at home
Egg purchases postponed
I'd recommend, you see
You get a hen or three
(And you'll spend less, you'll see)
Hens are always running here and there
(Unaware!)
Like they are chock full of compressed air
(Full of air!)
If you check out their behind
And eggs aren't what you find
There's someplace they should be
On the rotisserie
(And make a feast for me)
They roost away, 'till dawn's nigh
Fowls do fuss, now at five
(I'll roast a few, wings and thighs)
(Bowls of soup, served with chives)
Pens, of chickens are a fowl array
(Manurey grey)
Nests a-glisten from the turds they spray
(Dirty hay)
So, before those eggs you chew
Yes, sterilize them, do
I.Q.s at minus ten
Nothing has no brain like hens
(No brain)
Like hens
(Like hens)
Like hens
Flap and founder when they try to soar
With these hens I have at home
Egg purchases postponed
I'd recommend, you see
You get a hen or three
(And you'll spend less, you'll see)
Hens are always running here and there
(Unaware!)
Like they are chock full of compressed air
(Full of air!)
If you check out their behind
And eggs aren't what you find
There's someplace they should be
On the rotisserie
(And make a feast for me)
They roost away, 'till dawn's nigh
Fowls do fuss, now at five
(I'll roast a few, wings and thighs)
(Bowls of soup, served with chives)
Pens, of chickens are a fowl array
(Manurey grey)
Nests a-glisten from the turds they spray
(Dirty hay)
So, before those eggs you chew
Yes, sterilize them, do
I.Q.s at minus ten
Nothing has no brain like hens
(No brain)
Like hens
(Like hens)
Like hens

A fowl and funny parody! Many yokes.
Good parody, really cute! My wife and I just got back from our weekly pick-up of veggies from the organic farm we belong to in a neighboring town...that farm has free-ranging chickens that wander everywhere...one of them's a "guinea hen" that seems to boss the other birds around!
DKTOS, but enjoyed this anyway :-)
Phil, it was one of MJ's first solo efforts, when he was very very young...
Eggscellent ! I love the OS, but this is so much better ! Hens instead of a boring old rat ! Oh...and Peregrin....your vocal range would put Mariah Carey to shame......hee hee....;-)
This egg-straterrestrial approves. (Can't have fun with cows alone all the time). :-)
Liked the rotisserie line best; well done.
i clucked with laughter...5s
Good lines everywhere. Good stuff(ed). 555
Excellent!!! One of your best yet! ;-)
SOTM Egg-stremely good, or did somebody already say that? Loved it! 5's
(SOTM) I really liked the henway.
Norbet Beaver: Bwuk Bwuk-Bwuk Bwuuuuk!
Daggett Beaver: Hey! I'm not a cow!
Hentastic parody.
Daggett Beaver: Hey! I'm not a cow!
Hentastic parody.
SOTM - can't believe I DKTOS!
(SOTM) I was away when this was 1st posted (I think...). Anyways, brilliant job M&P! 555
Heard the parody. Loved it. Glad to see your not CHICKEN to sing it like us. Ha
One of my favorite jokes. A country preacher gets up in front of his rural congregation. He starts to chide; "I've been hearing some disturbing things about some of you farmers. I've been hearing rumors of bestiality. I heard some of you are doing "it" with goats!" The crowd was quiet. "And sheep....and cows....and pigs.... and chickens...." One angry farmer jumps up and yells very indignantly "Chickens!!"
Downloaded it and it was worth it (and that's saying a lot - I don't like to download all that much, but I must admit your site is well designed for the novice/absent-minded/clueless downloader. 5's guys...OH...Rick, I liked your joke...
(SOTM) I suspect fowl play here.
(SOTM) I got to laughing so hard at the rotisserie line I had to stop the recording and start over. Nice job! (Ok, I'm really starting to panic about how on Earth I'm going to narrow this month's entries down to just three!)
Thanks for all your kind comments, peoples! ;-)
Still clucking great; loved the recording too.
SOTM--very nicely done, sweet hobbits...=)
(SOTM) very very tight pacing (as tight as a hens anus, in fact) - and some classic lines M and P - LOL!
SOTM excellent job and super recording .... one to watch !!
(SOTM) See above!
Sotm...see above vote and comment
I'm not sure I can put a coherent comment together - I'm still trying to recover from the recording. Wow.
You have earned extra points for creating humor where humor was not obvious. I, too, liked the rotisserie line best.
DKTOS (did you take the link down?) however I had an excellent omelette this morning and found myself smiling, so 5s from me. The rotisserie line was my highlight as well.
(SOTM) - See my above comments - great stuff!
Thought I knew all MJ's songs, but did not know this one. Still enjoyed reading it.
