The Jazz Butcher - The Best Way

from the album  Fishcotheque


sample: [Just keep punching, that's the thing to do. Remember the words of
 the philosopher Ken Morgester, who once said "Failure is not falling down,
 failure is staying down".  And that's a good thought for this day, or any
 day.  Say, did you ever grab a wishbone and wish that the chicken you had
 just served had been tastier?  Well that won't happen with White Breast
 chicken.  White Breast is so superb you serve it with no regrets, no
 apologies.  When you take a White Breast chicken from the oven golden-brown
 and mouth-watering to look at, you know it will delight everybody at the
 table.]

Down on the farm, where the chicken is.

Stuff 'em full of fishmeal, stick 'em in a box
Chop their silly heads off, watch 'em run around
You take out the feathers, throw away the beak
Put them in the freezer for a couple of weeks
And you cook 'em in an oven and you stick 'em on a plate
And you stammer and you wiggle and you say it looks great
You make 'em into gravy, get it on your face
It's a shame and it's a disgrace

They eat chicken in the Balkans, chicken in Rome
I bet you even like to eat chicken at home
Chicken in Bolivia, chicken in Peru
I bet eating chicken is the thing you like to do

They get chicken in the Balkans, chicken in Rome
I bet you even like to eat chicken at home
There's chicken in Bolivia, chicken in Peru
Chicken in Kiev's the thing, chicken ought to do

And there's chicken, McChicken, anywhere at all
And chicken's an atrocity, it's vile that's all
There's chicken in Detroit, in Washington Square
Chicken in the high street, chicken everywhere

Chicken on holiday, chicken in jail
Wake up in the morning, there's a chicken in the mail
There's chicken on holiday, chicken in jail
The cats get chicken from the garbage pail

You raise 'em, race 'em, misplace 'em, replace 'em,
You can boil it, or baste it,
Just make sure that you waste it

sample: [No regrets, no apologies... Just keep punching]

Raise turkeys!
I want to see the man in charge!

sample: [Just keep punching]

sample: [I don't want to kill him, I want the money]

sample: [No regrets, no apologies]

sample: [I'm hypnotized]

Which came first the chicken or the egg
They get so damn crazy they eat their own legs         x6

Stuff 'em full of fishmeal, put 'em on the table
Make 'em into gravy, get it on your shirt front        x3

It's disgusting!
There's chicken on your shirt front, greasy and thick
Someone tell the manager that chicken is sick
The whole idea of saying "have another drumstick"
Chicken in the basket is the ladies' pick
Sick!
Chicken in Cabinet, Paddington too
They even got chicken in the Regent Park Zoo
There's chicken in China, chicken in Nepal
Chicken over there dead hanging on the wall

There's chicken in Syria, ? and Ceylon
The whole population wants to do them harm
There's chicken in Dublin
Chicken in Spain
Chicken in the slaughterhouse
Chicken in the rain
There's chicken in the library and on TV
World-wide symbol of stupidity
But if you ask me, they never had the chance to stop it

Now this is how you get a chicken hypnotized
You look the little motherfucker right in the eyes and say
"Chicken, you will obey"

Ah, they're laughing at the chickens, I can see them
